Clinton, SC – The Clinton Red Devils are setting their sights on achieving back-to-back championships in the upcoming 2024 season after a historic year in 2023, during which they secured their first title in 15 years. The team completed the previous season with an impressive nine-game winning streak, culminating in a decisive 35-6 victory over Barnwell that marked the ninth championship in the program’s storied history.

Notably, they will be without star quarterback Tushawan Richardson and multiple offensive line starters. Head coach Corey Fountain acknowledges the importance of introducing new players who are ready to step up and establish their roles within the team.

Junior Owen Glenn will take over as the primary quarterback for the Red Devils this season. He will be supported in the backfield by senior running back Javen Cook and fullbacks Angelo Cromer and Rhett Gilliam, who are expected to play crucial roles in the offensive strategy. The team’s defense will be anchored by senior defensive back Chris Boyd, who is regarded as one of the defensive leaders. Boyd has emphasized the significance of teamwork, the importance of listening to the coaching staff, and proper execution during games.

The community of Clinton has high expectations for the Red Devils, as they anticipate consistent success and championship victories, irrespective of the talent level each year. Coach Fountain recognizes the necessity for the team to maintain a strong desire for success and warns against complacency following their prior accomplishments.
