The regular season was a success, but the real challenge begins now, in the postseason. Clayton will look to defend their home turf on Friday against Hillside at 7:30 PM. The two teams have allowed few points on average (Clayton 13.36, Hillside 13.91), so any points scored will be well earned.
Clayton can now show off five landslide victories after their most recent matchup last Thursday. They put a hurting on East Wake to the tune of 48-0. Senior Trevaun Richardson, who rushed for 298 yards and 2 touchdowns on 17 carries, was a major factor in Clayton's success. Richardson has been a consistent playmaker for Clayton as this was the third good game in a row from him.
Meanwhile, after a disappointing zero points in their last game, Hillside made sure to put some points up on the board against East Chapel Hill. Hillside claimed a resounding 74-14 win over East Chapel Hill. That 60-point margin sets a new personal best for Hillside on the season.
Their wins bumped Hillside to 8-3 and Clayton to 9-2. Given their high-scoring efforts against their previous opponents, it will be interesting to see how far up these teams can run up the score.
