The football team at Claiborne High School has gone through a week they would have never dreamed including a surprising last minute coaching change but to the kids’ credit, they battled hard and took the fight to the Buffaloes of West Greene.
West Greene led at the half by the score of 14-6 and went on to win the game 28-12.
Coach Nick Nash had this to say about the team, “We have to clean up little things, we missed blocks that we usually don’t, our alignment on defense wasn’t great. We had three turnovers it’s hard to win when you turn the ball over. All in all, we will use this loss to get better. I’m proud of the boys and we will never stop improving.”
Josh Bolton had 21 carries for 186 yards and one touchdown. “Zay” Gerrells rushed for the Bulldogs other score. Tyrell Miles had one pass reception for two yards and Landen Poore had one reception for 13 yards.
Defensively, Justin Robinson had five tackles, three for losses and had one quarterback sack. Ryan Olsen had seven tackles, Jaris Bunch, Josh Bolton and Gavin Shelburne each had four tackles.
The Earl Heating & Air offensive Player of the Game was earned by Josh Bolton and the Whitaker Insurance Defensive Player of the Game went to Justin Robinson. Congratulations Josh and Justin!
