STRINGER 46, CLARKDALE 8

Tyler Fant score on a 10-yard pass from Tyler McKee for a Bulldogs touchdown, but it would be Clarkdale’s only score as Stringer won convincingly.

Hunter Vick ran the two-point conversion for Clarkdale and was also the team’s leading tackler on defense with eight.

“Obviously, we didn’t play well,” Clarkdale head coach Wes Roy said. “We have a lot of work to do this week to get ready for Lake. We have hard-working kids, and I know they will respond.”

Clarkdale will host Lake at 7 p.m. next Friday.
