The lone bright spot on the night for Clarkdale came in the fourth quarter, as Dontae Shelby ran in a 41-yard touchdown to give the Bulldogs their only score of the night.
“We got to go back the drawing board next season and see what we can do,” head coach Chris Richmond said. “We got a young team, and we really got to get back into that weight room and get more physical.”
