Go Friday Night

On to the Playoffs

Clyde took care of Comanche Friday night 49-6. I thought it might be a better game. Comanche really couldn't generate any offense at all. We kept getting the ball back and scoring. We did have too many turnovers though, hopefully that's out of our system. We were also content on working on the passing game and other stuff while preserving the health of Curtis Kevil. Tanner Parker had another awesome game making tackles all over the field.

THE PLAYOFFS:

We play the 8-3A district in the first round. Right now there is a 3 way tie for first place between Argyle, Bridgeport, and Decatur. Decatur is the largest school in the district so throw them out of our equation, they will be playing Wylie (if all my facts are correct). We will play either Argyle or Bridgeport. In any event were not going to get an easy team. They have 3 teams capable of winning district and we will get one of them. Sweetwater and Breckenridge will dual it out in Breckenridge for the 3rd spot in our district this Friday. I think Sweetwater's defense will probably make the difference in the game.

I'll post more as soon as I know more. I know Clyde is going to charter a bus for the playoff games at like $20 dollars a person. It disturbs me though on why we have always go to the metroplex to play? Why can't we play at shotwell? Why do we always have to play in their area?

One note on the complaint of our announcer. If you read in the paper a Sweetwater person complained about our announcer "crossing the line" with his style of announcing at our home games. Maybe the announcer shouldn't say things like "he was hammered", but there is nothing wrong with the phrase "That's a Clyde First Down". That's called enthusiasm. Our crowd does it on the road and at home. Let Clyde enjoy a little success, we haven't had a lot in recent years playing bigger schools like Sweetwater, Wylie, and Snyder. Gives us a mulligan. my gosh.
