Things didn’t go quite how Clyde coach Danny Dudgeon or his team had hoped they would in 2021. With a young roster and a first-time head coach last fall, the Bulldogs struggled to a 1-9 record and just their second non-playoff season since 2012. 

This year, with a roster comprised almost entirely of returning lettermen, CHS is hoping to put that experience in the rearview.

Of the 36 players to play varsity football for Clyde in 2021, 30 are returning this season, including nine starters on both sides of the ball. And while the Bulldogs will still be young, with more sophomores and juniors than seniors on the roster, Dudgeon feels good about his team’s chances of competing for a playoff spot out of District 3-3A Division I.
