Clinton Community College Men’s Basketball Returns to the Court Nov. 1
Cougars to Launch Season with White-Out and Casella NightPLATTSBURGH, NY — The Clinton Community College Men’s Basketball Team will kick off its 2025–26 season with a home game against Vermont State Randolph on Saturday, Nov. 1 at 5 p.m.
Cougar fans are encouraged to pack the Forrence Center for a special White-Out and Casella Night celebration. The first 150 fans through the doors will receive a free white Cougar Casella shirt to wear during the game. At halftime, Casella will select two Clinton students to take a half-court shot. If they make it, they’ll win $250 toward their books for next semester.
The team has been working this offseason to make the Cougar community proud after earning a second consecutive trip to the Region 3 playoffs last season. It was the program’s first back-to-back postseason appearance since 2008. Freshman Josiah Brown, of Baltimore, earned Third Team All-Conference honors and received a scholarship to Division I Coppin State University.

-
Josiah Brown (Coppin State University)

Elijah Carroll (Salisbury University)
-
Spencer Daby (SUNY Cobleskill)

As the Cougars start the season strong, the team will also host a Canned Food Drive from Nov. 1 through Nov. 16. Game attendees are encouraged to bring at least one canned good to the season opener in support of the Cougar Cupboard, a free campus food pantry for Clinton students.
All home games this season will be played at the Forrence Center, located at 136 Clinton Point Drive in Plattsburgh. You can view the team’s full schedule online.
