The last time they encountered one another, Clifton outplayed Kennedy 32-33. This time around? Get ready for this: Kennedy and Clifton were almost perfectly matched up on Saturday, but Kennedy suffered an agonizing 32-33 defeat. If you felt some intense deja vu just there, it's no doubt because Kennedy and Clifton finished with exactly the same score the last time they met.
Kennedy got a solid performance out of junior Andre Gardner, who rushed for 100 yards and 2 touchdowns; unfortunately, it just wasn't enough for the win. One of the most memorable plays of the match was Gardner's 65-yard touchdown rush in the third quarter.
The loss dropped Kennedy's record to 1-2. The victory bumped Clifton's record up to 3-0.
