Clinton at Newberry
Posted: Tue Sep 03, 2024 11:14 am
The Bulldogs will have their first real test of the season as the Red Devils make the trip down to Bulldog Stadium Friday night.
The Bulldogs are coming in at 2-0, and held Mid Carolina to -43 yards rushing and 0 total yards of offense last Friday. The Bulldog defense has given up less than 150 yards and 14 points combined in 2 games. On the offensive side, the Newberry offense continued to roll using the 2 QB system of Bryce Satterwhite and Kenton Caldwell. Both bring a different dynamic to the game when the are in. RB BJ Jones added 3 TD's Friday night, and Newberry has some talent WR's. The 83 total points the Bulldogs have through 2 games is the most they've scored to open a season since the 1997 team scored 84 total points.
Clinton comes in at 1-1 after beating rival Laurens on Friday. The Red Devils dropped a heart breaker to Woodruff to open the season, and rebounded nicely against the Raiders. Clinton will bring a physical run game Friday, and the mis-direction is always tough to stop.
Clinton leads the all time series 54-34-2, including the last 3 games. Last year's game was never close, as the Red Devils won 42-7. The last Newberry win was in 2019 when the Bulldogs got a late 2 point conversion to win 14-13.
This game should tell me a lot about what the Bulldogs have. The first 2 games were bad, the Bulldogs dominated both games from early on. I expect this to be much different. Newberry will have to cut down on the mistakes they made in the first 2 games to have a shot. The meat of the schedule starts this week, as Newberry will host Clinton before traveling to Chapin and Fairfield before returning home to finish out the non-region schedule with Saluda.
Newberry is ranked 8th in AAA and Clinton 5th in AA in the poll I saw from the HSSR
