Clover had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were just a hair shy of victory and fell 35-34 to the Chambers Cougars. The Blue Eagles were given a dose of their own medicine in this game as the Cougars apparently hadn't forgotten their defeat the last time these teams played back in August of 2024.
Chambers got their win on the backs of several key players, but it was Tahj Brooks out in front who rushed for 135 yards and three scores while picking up 7.9 yards per carry. Brooks really tore up the turf during one magnificent 80-yard run. Another player making a difference was Zyon Hailey, who rushed for 61 yards and one TD on only seven carries.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Clover will welcome Hillcrest at 7:30 p.m. on Friday. As for Chambers, they will be playing at home against Hopewell at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
