8th

The Clinton Middle School 8th Grade Redwolves (1-1) picked up their first win of the season on the road vs the Hudson Tigers on September 21.  The Redwolves would open up the game with a successful scoring drive, aided by a 45 yard run up the middle down to the Tiger 3 yard line by Dacari Garrison.  The drive would be capped off by a Jake Halchishak Touchdown, but unsuccessful 2-pt conversion play (6-0). Louis Della-Badia would make a fumble recovery on the Tigers first offensive play to give the Redwolves the ball back.  The ensuing drive would stall and result in a Garrison punt. The Hudson Tigers would then drive deep into Redwolves territory before Will Hawkins forced a sack fumble on the Tiger QB that resulted in an Owen Wright fumble recovery.  The Redwolves would follow their 2nd forced turnover with a traditional Clinton football drive.  Eating up the clock with repeated positive gains behind the blocking up front from offensive lineman Gabe Cabellero, Chance Maddox, David Johnson, Will Hawkins, Owen Wright, Keegan Keith, Joe Coughlin, Ashton Wiedenbeck, and Jake Jeffrey, running backs Jonah Hahn, Garrison, and Halchishak were able to chip away at the Tiger defense.  Halchishak would add to his touchdown total for his 2nd of the night along with a successful 2-Pt conversion run to tally a 14-0 lead into the half.  

The Redwolves did not find the endzone again, and failed offensive drives put a lot of strain on the defensive side of the ball.  The 8th grade would hang tough defensively keeping Hudson out of the endzone until the final minute of the game (14-6).  Hudson would fail to recover the onside attempt on the following kickoff, and the Redwolves would seal the victory.  CMS Redwolves football is on the road again on September 28 against the Blissfield Royals with 7th Grade game beginning at 5 PM followed by the 8th Grade Redwolves.
