Clyde Beats Vernon in Football
By Ken Mauldin

The title of this article was fun to type. I doubt that anyone has ever typed that before last Friday night, I forgot to look at our all time history with Vernon, but I doubt we have even played them more than a handful of times.
It was another incredible effort from Curtis Kevil as noted in the Abilene Reporter News. The Reporter News has been giving Clyde a lot of publicity this year and its much appreciated. Curtis brings a lot of coverage to Clyde by being such a standout player. Curtis had an absolutely awesome game, not sure he has ever had a better one considering the competition he was up against. The offensive line really returned in a big way paving the way for his big night.
Vernon would be the first to tell you that it wasn't their best night, they fumbled and fumbled. I think the first 2 times they touched the ball in the 3rd quarter. Clyde did a great job of taking advantage of what Vernon gave them. Vernon has a running game that was really hard to stop and will carry them a long ways, but not giving up the big play has been a key to our season this year on defense. That has allowed time for mistakes from our opponents who have had to earn their yards this year. Our secondary has just been outstanding all year long, even when their out manned by bigger players you see them stick their heads in there and make the tackle, that's something that has really been missing from our defense for the last several years.
The one thing I have noticed over and over is the sportsmanship of this team. They are constantly helping their opponents to their feet. This is definitely a special group we have at Clyde this year.
