Cloverdale Middle School rumbles through Edgewood

Saturday, August 24, 2013

CLOVERDALE -- The Cloverdale seventh and eighth grade football teams completed a sweet of Edgewood on Thurday. The seventh grade Clovers won 16-0 and the eighth-graders won 14-0.

In the seventh grade game the teams were locked in a scoreless tie until through halftime. The Clovers took the kickoff and marched down the field, scoring when Parker Watts punched in a run around the left side.

Cloverdale added on more score midway through the fourth and converted on both two-point tries.

The eighth grade squad played one of its hardest-hitting games in recent memory. The two teams were getting through first-game nerves and drew several penalties, but the Clovers were in control throughout.

Steven Allen scored on the Clovers' second possession, punching the ball in after back-to-back carries. CMS also successfully converted its two-point try.

That remained the only score until late in the fourth when Cloverdale added one more touchdown.
