Youth Football Teams End Season With Championships

Posted

Two Clinton Youth Football teams won the West Central Championships. On Saturday, Nov. 6 the Cardinal 4th grade team beat P. Hill 6-0 and the 5th grade team beat P. Hill 12-6. Coach Dana Banks commented, “Today these boys (4th grade) played an undefeated and really tough Pleasant Hill Football team. They played with a ton of grit and came away with the win. This group of players finished the season 8-0 while out scoring their opponents 249-0. To go 8 straight games at any level of football, and not allow a single point, is some-thing that’s rarely accomplished and very special to witness." Coach Banks went on to say, " I want to thank all the fans that made the trip to support us not only this game, but all sea-son long, and you always brought the noise. "
The Cardinal 5th Grade team also worked hard all season, getting better every game on their way to their second West Central Youth Football Championship in the last three years, beating a tough Pleasant Hill team 12-6 to claim the title! The Clinton fans would have to say it was Cardinal Day at Rooster Stadium. Congrats to all and Go Young Cards! Working hard to coach the 4th grade were Dana Banks, Ryan Parks, Jacob Goucher, Thumper Womack, Brad Bullock, while the 5th grade was led by Byron McCoy, Tyson Rathert, Timmy McNack, Dane Salley and Gerad Wombles.
