Football Preview: Halls Red Devils vs. Clinton Dragons

The Halls Red Devils will take on the Clinton Dragons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Halls knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 31 points or more in their past three games -- so hopefully Clinton likes a good challenge.

Halls was handed a heart-breaking three-point loss in their last contest, but they sure didn't let that happen against Campbell County on Friday. The Red Devils took their matchup with ease, bagging a 64-6 win over the Cougars. With the Red Devils ahead 24-3 at the half, the game was all but over already.

Amari Lethgo went supernova, throwing for 221 yards and six TDs on perfect 13-for-13 passing. Those six passing touchdowns gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Knox Burton, who rushed for 54 yards and a pair of touchdowns.

Halls' defense stepped up as well, laying out the QB five times. Campbell County's QB won't forget Dom Culp anytime soon given he sacked him twice. Halls got some further help from Carson Pearce: he picked up a sack and made ten total tackles (5.0 for loss).

Special teams was a major factor in the game for Halls, racking up 12 points in total. The biggest highlight from special teams (and perhaps the team as a whole) came courtesy of Brody Rogers, who ran a punt back for a touchdown.

Meanwhile, Clinton managed to keep up with Powell until halftime on Friday, but things quickly went downhill from there. The Dragons took a blow against the Panthers, falling 59-28. The Dragons haven't had much luck with the Panthers recently, as the team has come up short the last six times they've met.

Halls will need to focus on slowing down Mason Eckerson, one of several Clinton players who made an impact when they last played. He threw for 318 yards and three TDs. Clinton's leading receiver Bryson Maddox was Eckerson's top target yet again, picking up 79 receiving yards and a pair of scores.

Halls is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 4-4 record this season. The victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 41.2 points over those games. As for Clinton, their defeat dropped their record down to 2-6.

Halls strolled past Clinton in their previous matchup back in September of 2020 by a score of 29-14. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Dragons' Joshuah Keith, who threw for 226 yards and one touchdown, and also rushed for 37 yards and one score. Now that he won't be playing on Friday, will it be easier for the Red Devils to walk away with another win? There's only one way to find out.
