It took a little longer to get the offense moving than Clemens may have liked in a 28-7 victory over Canyon in the OK3Sports Friday Feature Game, but the Buffaloes won’t mind as they move to 6-0 and 3-0 in District 27-6A with an important victory on the road in a District where they are hard to come by.

With the victory, Clemens remained in a three-way tie for first place in 27-6A along with No. 1 Judson and No. 3 Smithson Valley, both winners in district play on Friday night. Judson hammered East Central 69-0 on the road, while Smithson Valley downed Wagner 35-7 at D.W. Rutledge Stadium in Converse. The three teams in the first place log jam are a combined 18-0 on the season.

Marshawn Brown capped off a good week by rushing for a 68-yard touchdown run on the first offensive play from scrimmage for the Buffaloes en route to 145 yards and two touchdowns. For the season, Brown averages 153.4 yards per game to lead unbeaten Clemens in rushing.

Clemens finished with 422 total yards and QB Mitchell Fauber had arguably his best game of the season finishing 9 of 14 through the air for 153 yards and two touchdowns to Under Armour All-American Bowl selection Tommy Bush. Bush would finish with four catches on the night to pace the Buffaloes on offense, while Vicente Perez would catch four passes for 81 yards. including a 63-yard effort down to inside the 5-yard line to set up Bush’s second touchdown grab of the night.

Canyon junior quarterback Zavier Perez broke Clemens’ 14-quarter scoreless streak in the first quarter with a 12-yard touchdown run with 4:34 remaining in the opening quarter to tie to game at seven. Perez showed good poise against the swarming Buffaloes defense, completing 19 of 28 passes for 170 yards on the evening for the Cougars, who fell to 1-5 and 1-2 on the season.
