No clue.

August can’t get here soon enough!! November either for that matter!

Playing Lakewood in a regular season game that hasn’t happened in a long time, still got the Wallace R-H rivalry game and back to playing our rivals from Elizabethtown.

If Clinton is going to get back right now would be a good time looking at the 4A East not a lot of depth. The stronger former 2A programs seem to be in 3A(WRH,Northeastern,Whiteville etc)

Teams like West Craven and East Duplin will be favored early on probably in 4A East.

That Lakewood game should be fun and a big crowd. They lost their coach after one year. Idk who they’ve hired as a replacement.

Who knows new coach may get it turned around

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Crazy to think Clinton and Lakewood haven’t played in a regular season game since Aug 1982. Yeah that should be a good crowd for the opening week

I was -3. Who won that game btw?

 

[Otis4411]

So the Sampson County Jamboree is going to be at Clinton?

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Clinton. 40-20

 

[Darkhorse#34]

Thats what the off-season is for. HOPE. Everyone is 0-0 right now so we all technically have a chance. It would be better for the conference and 4A East in general if Clinton and SW Onslow get back to competitive football.

 

[Darkhorse04]

Well I heard the middle school team didn’t allow a single point scored on them this past season. Idk if we’re still 1-2 years away from those kids playing but if true that’s impressive.

Zaire Strickland incoming freshman will be one to watch out for. Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes straight to varsity. Anyone who’s followed Sampson County Football for awhile will remember his dad. Wayne Strickland played for Hobbton early 2000’s……..the apple didn’t fall far from the tree. The kid is legit.

I remember one of the first games Clinton played, Lakewood. The game was played at the old football field in Roseboro. During that era of these Clinton-Lakewood games 1970's - 1982. Donnie Ray Naylor coached Lakewood and he was a hell of a coach. I remember one of those early Lakewood games in Roseboro, it was cold as hell, in fact there may have been some frozen precipitation, I know I was frozen. Clinton won most of those games, but Donnie Ray Naylor always fields a good sound team.
