Clinton 7-3 @ Cleveland 5-5 First Round

[fooseball96]

yea Clinton is a classy bunch, but I just had a feeling something was going to happen on that final snap.

Yeah Cleveland was in a victory formation and there was a player jumping over the line trying to steal the ball

[fooseball96]

What number was it?

#5 I believe

I thought Clintons players showed great sportsmanship till the remaining seconds of the game and one of the players got a unsportsmanlike call. Then while both teams were shaking hands tried to fight a Cleveland players again. The player was ejected but do the Clinton fans know if he's a senior? If not he will be suspended to start next season too.

I agree. I was very impressed by the Sportsmanship shown by Clinton from the first play until the last drive when Cleveland was just taking a knee with under a minute left. It looked like they (or maybe just one player) were trying to start something just to get a Cleveland player ejected for next week. And then one of Clintons coaches started acting very childish after the handshake & tried to start more. Kind of a weird ending for a team that played with exemplary character for the first 47 minutes.

Hmm, not sure. A Clinton fan will have to chime in on that one.

I agree, I didn't see the coaches handshake. But the whole game Clinton helped Cleveland up from the field. That last possession surprised me

CONGRATS TO 5AAA'S OWN CLEVELAND BLUERAIDERS!!!

DEM HARLEYS HARD TO CONTAIN

Congrats to Cleveland on a well played game! Clinton's offense was out of sync all night. Not a typical Clinton offense, but Cleveland's defense had alot to do with that.

Good luck next week against Oak Ridge.

Oh well

[CheckerboardEndzone]

Yeah, not sure why the game had to go ugly there at the end.  Frustration, I'm sure, but hated to see it go downhill after such a good game sportsmanship-wise.

 

Heard things went bad on the handshake...coach(es) from Clinton yelling at Cleveland players, and even one Clinton school admin on the field exchanging words with one of our injured players.  Should never end up that way..

 

Hate it for all involved.  Good luck to Clinton next year.  Raiders live to see another game!

what stats would you like?

The CHS "O" was running a very conservative package due to injuries and a new QB.  Wasn't pretty but good enough to win.
