Home opener for Clinton hoping to build off the success of the SWO game.....We are a lil banged up with injuries to Faison and Dessus....look for the Clinton O Line to continue to grow Lewis has 3 sophmores and 2 Junior starting out there and they performed well against a stout SWO d line.....Don't know to much about SS besides the fact they are a 3A school from Johnston County don't think they have had a winning season since either 2009 or 2010...with that being said should be a pretty easy game...Skinner and that backfield will probably run wild in front of the home crowd..just looking for the team to continue to grow and that defense to continue to look sharp....lets handle business get that running clock and come out injury free...Prediction: Clinton 49 SS 7....any other thoughts????
 
I look for the Horses to unleash the reins! Get that W and get the bye week to prepare for 4A Wilmington Hoggard a 4A eastern finalist last year.
 
SSS has some athletes, but are very young. Last year was their best season to date with 3 wins. This game will not be close, Clinton will win this going away. What Clinton has to do is play this game just as hard as any other, and try not to look ahead to the battle on Shipyard Blvd next the following Friday.
 
All you need to know is SSS (they go by SSS, mascot Sparton) lost to Nash Central last week, who was on a 25 game losing streak. Clinton by a million.
 
Don't think we will overlook any team not Coach Lewis's style...I agree O Line gets some more game experience work out any kinks....would like to see better coverage on special teams something I think we will need going forward especially against EB and Wallace down the road.....just hoping for a injury free game we got hit hard Friday.....Skinner looking bigger and faster that young man is going to put on a show no doubt
 
Any word on the length and severity of Rayquan Faison's injury???.....and any chance the coaches are considering moving up that BIG freshman fullback off JV......#24 Oates can fill in at Fullback on offense but against some of the teams we have coming up for example Hoggard and East Bladen who have tough experienced defenses we are going to need a bigger smashmouth back who can help pick up those tough yards like Faison would do...Oates is more of a speed back.
 
So Dessus is out for the rest of the season with a tore ACL.....And Faison is out till around the Hoggard game......really sucks for Kavon missing his senior season
 
Wow, I heard earlier that both were ok but would be held out this week, I guess this person that hooked me up with this inside info was either mistaken or his diagnosis was
pre-mature, I'll confirm.

Confirmed. Kevon has torn ACL, partially torn MCL. Not sure yet if surgery is required now or after the season, it being his senior year he knows surgery means it over, he may try and rehab, take some weeks off, wear a brace and give it a go, he did play in the 2nd half against SWO so who knows. Tough break for him and the Horses. No official word on MRI for Rayquan so fingers crossed for him. Either way, Horses took a blow losing those two for sure. Next man UP!

Raining pretty hard here in Clinton I'm guessing it will be postponed.....suppose to rain all weekend though I believe.....still no official word
 
DH04 y'all not broadcasting tonight??? Can't pick up the internet stream or on the radio....didn't go to the game cause I thought it would be rained out
 
Clinton scores first on interception return by J Pope for TD...Clinton 7 SS 0......updates coming via twitter page of sportswriter Mike Carter I'm not at the game and can't pick up the broadcast for some reason
 
Clinton scores again causes a fumble recovered on the 5....Skinner runs it in...13-0 Clinton leading 6:39 in the 1st
 
Touchdown Clinton Tyion Wright returns a punt 45 yards...Clinton up 20-0 still in the 1st quarter
 
Skinner might not get a chance to break 100 yards the way its going we will be in mercy rule before halftime....interception returned for TD Punt returned for TD and a forced fumble we recovered at the 5
 
Hold the phone SS returns KO 92 yards for a TD 20-7 Clinton leading.....I said before we need to tighten up our special teams coverage one weakness I saw from the SWO game
 
Skinner 49 yard TD run.....Clinton 28 SS 7....still 3 mins left in the 1st....Sounds like a fun game hate that I'm not there
 
Ryheem Skinner scores 67 yard TD run....35-7 Clinton still in the 1st......whelp nevamind on my prediction Skinner over 100 yards and 3 TDs in one quarter....yea its against Smithfield-Selma but hey still looks good
 
122 yards on 3 carries.....I'll say that again 122 yards on 3 carries....3 TDs....BEAST!!!!!!
 
Another Tyion Wright Punt Return for a TD 67 yards this time....Clinton 42 SS 7
 
Yeah I'm still getting nothing but like I said it may be on my end....I'll keep trying the website usually works for me
 
Could be down due to the late start, u aren't missing anything it's a blowout. Raheem 3 carries, 3 TDs he is out of game freshmen jaylen smith playing (Ralph smith son)
