The Red flag team was also in Clark and continued their strong season. They had 5 touchdowns by 5 different players on the day with CJ Olney and Jason Roser scoring on short runs. Jack Moran and Logan McDermid added long scores on the ground and Cole Hayden turned a screen pass from Moran into a long score. The defense held tough giving up only 3 scores as Hayden and JB McCrea made a number of plays in the backfield. The Dukes also stopped Clark’s attempts at a passing game with a deflection by Roser and an interception by James Grohe.

Mitey Mites

Jeremy Martino, Jack O’Donnell, Chris Spinelli and Stephen Dowe found the endzone for the offense, while Martino added a touchdown on Special Teams after recovering a fumble. Donoven Nicolas added two conversions, while Spinelli and Justin Lebron each had one. Special recognition goes to the Dukes' offensive lines who provided fantastic protection and opened scoring lanes.
