Jalen Clark had a career night against Dale County Friday night and earned this week’s Athlete of the Week award. Clark set career highs in passing (169 yards) and rushing (204 yards) and accounted for five touchdowns (two passing and three rushing) in the area contest. Clark was the leader of the offense that scored on all seven possessions and amassed 503 yards of total offense and helped on defense with two tackles.
The junior quarterback’s 14.6 yard average per carry was the fourth best in school history and his 373 yards of total offense ranks the eighth best all time. Although this is Clark’s first year as the starting quarterback, he already ranks in many career offensive categories.
