RED DEVILS. .1959 The 1959 Clinton Red Devils assembled on August 15 to begin pre-season training. Al- though eleven regular players were lost by graduation from the 1958 squad, the thirty- three boys, who composed the 1959 squad, under the leadership of Coaches Ralph Tedards, Robert Strock, and Herman Jackson, worked especially hard and made each practice worth- while. The schedule that Clinton played this past season was undoubtedly the toughest in the history of Clinton High, the Red Devils lost five games in a row, but came back to post a 4-5-2 record.

Clinton Downs York to Start Season The Clinton High Red Devils scored in the first, third, and fourth quarters to beat the York Green Dragons in the season's first foot- ball game 19 to 13. Ricky Rhame was the first to score when he went over left tackle from the 10-yard line to climax a 40-yard drive. The extra point, made by Kinard Littleton, left the score at the end of the half 7-0. Picking up a York fumble in the third quarter, Melvin Bailey raced 35 yards for the second Clinton High touchdown. The try for the extra point failed. York also scored in the third quarter when they recovered a bad snap from center in a fourth- down punt attempt. The extra point was good. During the fourth quarter York took another Clinton fumble to score, making the score 13-13. Kinard Littleton ended the scoring when he uncorked a 55-yard run good for the third Clinton High touchdown. Clinton and Ware Shoals Battle to Tie Second Game of the Season The Clinton High Red Devils and the Ware Shoals Hornets each scored within the first five minutes of the game. Seconds after the game began, Ware Shoals fumbled on the 36-yard line, and Clinton made its two first downs. Halfback Gary Sprouse then shot off right tackle for the score. Ware Shoals tied the game by recovering a Clinton High fumble and marching 60 yards for the score. Neither team was able to make another score. Gary Sprouse led the Clinton High offense.
