Local Notes
Clinton HS
- Kadon Crawford named TD Club Player of the Week… When the Laurens County TD Club selects its Player of the Week, they receive nominations from the four
local high school coaches as who they think the is worthy of the award on their team from the previous Friday night’s game… It is not that unusual for someone to win the award more than one time a season buy highly unusual for the same player to win it for two consecutive weeks… Well that has happened this week as Clinton’s Kadon Crawford has been selected for the second consecutive week… The senior linebacker and tight end/wide receiver and special teams player was chosen for his performance in the Red Devils 51-28 win over Union County last Friday at Wilder Stadium… Crawford set a new Clinton High School record for yards receiving in a game with 191 yards on seven receptions… Crawford had a 44 yard TD reception as well as a 50 yard catch to set up another Red Devil score… Defensively, Crawford recorded a Safety and had 7 tackles for loss and well as 3 quarterback pressures and 1 sack… Head Coach Corey Fountain stated, “Kadon continues to be a leader on and off the field. He is a great competitor, he’s everywhere on the field and his relentlessness rubs off on the other players on the team.”… He will be honored this Thursday at the TD Clubs meeting at noon at The Ridge on Exchange Drive… In addition to the local coaches speaking, the featured speaker will be Coach Mike Ayers, former head football coach at Wofford College.
