The first Clinton High School football team was formed during the 1923-24 school year. They were originally known as the Orange and Black “Tornadoes” and then became the “Dragons” sometime before the 1930s. The field was reached by crossing Town Springs, and there were no bleachers or lights. The first captain and quarterback was Roscoe Hendrickson. With the exception of a few of the first games that were played at the fairgrounds, the CHS football team has played here from the beginning.
