CLINTON, S.C. — Camden Gregory, a sophomore at Clinton High School, has been picked by the Laurens County Touchdown Club as its Player of the Week, earning the award for a big night on defense in the Red Devils’ first-round Class AA playoff win over Liberty.
Clinton beat Liberty 63-30 on Friday, Nov. 6. It was the fourth time this season the Red Devils have won a game by 22 points or more.
Gregory lines up at middle linebacker and H-back. Against Liberty he was credited with four tackles for loss, five more solo stops and three assisted tackles. He also hurried the quarterback once, broke up a pass and made two tackles on kickoff coverage.
Head coach Corey Fountain said the sophomore has gotten better every week of the season and gives full effort in practice as well as on game nights.
On offense, quarterback Owen Glenn ran for 73 yards and a touchdown on just five carries and threw for 68 yards and another score. That gave him a rushing touchdown in three straight games.
The Red Devils now go on the road for the second round, facing Southside Christian at 7:30 p.m. Friday.
The club will honor Gregory at its last regular-season meeting on Thursday, Nov. 19, at The Ridge, 301 Exchange Road in Laurens. That noon meeting will include the remaining weekly awards, a South Carolina-Clemson rivalry preview and updates from area high school coaches and Presbyterian College. Lunch starts at 11:45 a.m., and tickets are $20 at the door.
