Congratulations on the victory, 92!

Just wondering when was the last  time Clinton did beat Oak Ridge and AC? Not necessarily the same year but that is probably more likely. Because this would be dramatic if Clinton were to take down OR and AC. They certainly have potential.

2009 the last time they beat OR.

Looks like the Dragons may have hit a stride. Should be interesting at the Dragon Den in a few weeks time. 

Who they're playing has alot to do with that SS. We have Pal Thursday night.  Hopefully they can keep this momentum. If Clinton can beat Powell, they might be able to give OR a good game in a couple of weeks.

True. They’re doing what a good team should to subpar competition though. Yeah, the Powell game will tell a lot.

After the first 2 games, I felt like they would finish 6-4. Losing to Powell and OR and possibly beating the rest.

Problem for AC could be if Clinton continues to improve after the Powell and OR games or do they lose some close ones and get disheartening. But any way it goes this will be a rivalry game and my guess is you can throw everything you know out the window. Clinton's better than last year, leaps. Can't wait to see OR and Clinton as OR is obviously better too

It seemed as if OR started off slow against Karns. Maybe OR was keeping it as vanilla as possible.  The important thing is OR's defense pitched a shutout and won comfortably. They will be more than ready for Clinton in a couple of weeks. Clinton will have their hands full with Powell Thursday night.

Has the burrville coach been wearing his lucky flip flops during the games?

Yeah we had 3 or 4 turnovers in the red zone, which killed us. Not making excuses but that game could’ve easily been in the 60s to 0. I’ll give credit to Karns, but most of them were unforced too. The young Sophomore QB, while very talented, still makes those Sophomoric mistakes every now and again. Will definitely have to clean that up against stiffer competition.

I seen that. OR looked rusty but Karns was pretty good size. And True Karns did not get the score. OR is in better shape than I assumed for 1st year coach. I think Clinton still a bit to go to beat the Mavs.

In the 4 years that Keith has been here, Clinton has gotten better and are beating the teams they should beat, but can't seem to beat the really good teams just yet. Hopefully, they are heading in that direction. 

Right now, if Clinton were to beat Oak Ridge and Powell, and AC....I would consider those upsets and a signature win.
