The Clinton County Bulldogs’ football team has one game remaining in the 2011 season. Last Friday night was the final game of the regular season, and was also the final home game for Clinton County.

The Bulldogs hosted Eminence, 9-1, a team ranked third according to its record among 1A schools. They defeated Clinton County 32-0, moving the Bulldogs’ record to 0-10 on the year.

The beginning of the game started with the Bulldogs being able to hold the Warriors during the first play.

“Their first possession we forced them into a fourth and 16, but we took a break on special teams and they hit us with a fake and went the distance on us,” Head Coach Jamie Miller said. “I think they had about a 70 yard touchdown.”

Miller said it was a game of taking care of the ball, which is something the Bulldogs have been troubled with all season.

“Taking care of the football has been our Achilles heal all year long,” Miller said. “We’ve got to get back to the basics.”

Clinton County did show signs of improvement during Friday night’s contest. The Bulldogs just couldn’t make it happen on offense due to turnovers.

“Looking back, we moved the ball pretty well against them, we just couldn’t hold on to it,” Miller said. “Anytime you have five turnovers and four of them are fumbles, you are not holding on to the ball. I can remember several times we had good runs. Anytime you gain yardage and then turn it over it’s like shooting yourself in the foot.”

Miller said there are three parts to a football team and Clinton County has yet to put those parts together for one full game.

“If two teams are equal offensively and defensively the third aspect of the game is the kicking game,” Miller said. “You have to win that part of the game. Most of your momentum comes from the kicking game.”

This Friday night the Bulldogs will travel to Louisville to play Christian Academy-Louisville. The Centurions are currently 6-4 on the year and rest at about the middle of the pack as far as records in 2A competition are concerned.

“I’m sure they are a pretty solid team,” Miller said. “I don’t expect them to be quite as good as Glasgow or Green County.”

Miller stressed one of the biggest things Clinton County doesn’t need to do in the next game is beat themselves.

“Out of the past 10 games I would say we have beat ourselves at least six of those,” Miller said. “Even though some of those scores seem way lopsided, you never know what happens when you come out and you don’t beat yourself with turnovers and with penalties and with getting your heads down. That’s something we’ve got to do this week. We need to go out and play the best we can, keep our heads high … we are still a building program and we are getting better.”

Kick-off is set for 8 p.m.

Josh Myers tried to run with the ball during the first quarter against Eminence Friday night. Clinton County moved to 0-10 on the year with the 32-0 loss.
