CLINTON DRAGONS 2018

[92Dragon]

Clinton finished 2-8 for the 2017 season, but I saw improvement especially on the defensive side of the ball. We went from giving up 43 ppg a year ago  to 26 ppg on average in 17'.

Our offense finally started scoring more points toward the end of the season. Should be several starters returning this year on offense and defense. 

Our quarterback play and offensive line play needs to be a point of emphasis this off season. And definitely our pass defense. I'm sure these things are being worked on.

I'm excited about the future of Clinton football. Should be an interesting year!

Thoughts or comments?

The first thing that comes to mind is hold on to Gaylor for dear life and don't ever let him leave.  Surprised me they perked up and played Campbell County a decent game 31-41 after only scoring 46 points in the eight games before that.  I'll be honest and tell you I despise the offense you guys run but your stuck with it long as McCamey is coaching there. He did open it up some his last year at GCA because he did have a good QB and I hoped he would do the same at Clinton but maybe they didn't have a good enough kid at that position yet.

You really need to be loaded with talent for the wing-t to be successful in my opinion. Clinton openen it up a little bit there toward the end of the season against Karns and CC, running some wildcat and different formations.

Our qb didn't look comfortable. Just from what I saw and the body language of the players, the qb didn't trust the offensive line and the offensive line didn't trust the qb.

Talent, coaching, trust. Do you think the new sports complex will help in those areas? Is the new building in use yet? I need to drive over and take a look.

The sports complex may keep the talented players at Clinton. The team will be able to practice during extreme heat in the Summer and thunderstorms. Trust....Only time will tell.

Sounds great! Is it in use now or what is it's complete date?

Yeah its being used. The film room/theater is pretty fancy.

Do they have any pictures of it yet? McKamey may be a better builder than coach. He does a phenomenal job with facility enhancements.

I sure hope he isn't building the thing because that means he will be driving the bobcat instead of coaching like he did at GCA.

Here's a couple from the Twitter. It's pretty massive. The C on the outside lights up and looks pretty sweet.

wow. that's pretty impressive. i wonder how many banners they'll be able to hang up in that million dollar facility?

[dkota44]

I think we all know the answer to that...

Infinite.

I, for one, was not in favor of this facility. The school itself is in pretty rough shape. But it is what it is I guess.
