Clinton's Dynamic Duo Seals Rivalry Victory

Clinton High School's varsity football team achieved a dramatic 29-22 victory over their arch-rival, Laurens, on August 28th. This win marked their sixth consecutive triumph against Laurens, a team they have faced over 107 times. The decisive moment came late in the fourth quarter when senior quarterback Owen Glenn orchestrated a 10-play, 75-yard game-winning drive, concluding with a 3-yard touchdown pass with just two seconds remaining.

Glenn, a versatile athlete also skilled in basketball and baseball, highlighted the importance of composure during the critical drive. He expressed his deep connection to Clinton High, having anticipated playing there his whole life. His partnership with senior running back Angelo Cromer, who rushed for 152 yards against Laurens, was crucial to the team's success.

Cromer, who has played football since age three and trains rigorously, emphasized mental toughness developed through his workouts. As they approach graduation, both Cromer and Glenn have aspirations beyond high school. Cromer plans to serve in the U.S. Army, inspired by family members, while Glenn aims to play college football, with a potential interest in becoming a Navy SEAL if that path doesn't materialize.
