The Clarendon Junior High Colts had a good night in Wheeler last Friday night despite the inclement weather.
The Colts were causing a storm of their own as they fought their way to a 14-0 victory over the Wheeler Colts. The shut-out reflects the successes the Colts have had all season on the grid iron as they look to wrap up their 2025 season.
With T.J. Smith at the helm, the Colts were in full-on mode as they gained the only score of the first half of play. Smith was able to find the endzone due to the great blocking from the line. Smith earned the touchdown when he was able to break free on the first offensive play from scrimmage after half time. The game was called after three quarters of play due to lightening.
From his safety and tight end position, Henry Robertson had several key tackles in the game. Robertson also teamed up with Smith for a two-point conversion to add to the score.
Coaches Semans and Kelley have done a great job with the young players and were not disappointed in the shut-out.
“The boys had to play in abnormal conditions Friday, dealing with a moved game, little warm-up time, and adjusted start time,” Semans said. “The boys showed resilience and heart. They came out of the gate slow but responded very well when it mattered most. Coach Kelley and I are very proud of the boys and the effort they have put into this season.”
The Colts will take on Memphis at home on Thursday, October 30, at 5:00 p.m. and will travel to Quanah on November 4 in their final game of the season.
