Clinch meets mighty Bulldogs
By Christian Malone
Clinch enters the game with an 11-game winning streak, including last week’s 26-13 victory over Fellowship Christian in Roswell.
Ronnie Hill leads the Panthers in rushing, having gained 939 yards and scored 14 touchdowns.
Clinch has long been known for its powerful rushing attack (in this decade alone, four Panther running backs have been named All-State). But this year, for maybe the first time ever, Clinch actually has more yards passing than rushing. Sophomore quarterback Vintavious Cooper has thrown for 1,778 yards and 17 touchdowns. Dominique Ellis is his favorite target, with 26 catches for 891 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Defensively, Brandon Richardson and Taylor Denmark led Clinch with 61 tackles apiece. Kyle Morris has a team-leading six sacks. Ellis has made five interceptions.
