Clewiston runs over Devils

Special to the News-Sun AVON PARK – The game plan for the visiting Clewiston Tigers was simple enough - run the ball until you stop us. And that’s what they did, with little stopping them in Friday’s 49-7 win at Avon Park. The Tigers totaled 380 rushing yards on 27 carries for the night. And yet, for a moment there in the first quarter, there seemed to be the sort of turnaround that Red Devil head coach Wade Jackson has been looking for. With Clewiston already having rumbled out to a 14- Courtesy photo 0 lead and on the march Alfred Brown wasn’t getting away from Clewiston’s Josh Hannah Waller/News-Sun Rojas on this play in Avon Park’s loss Friday night.
