Buffs and Knights Prevail in Football Our Clemens Buffaloes and Steele Nights fought diligently through another intense football season. Both teams became playoff eligible as they went 5-2 in district. In the San Antonio High School Football Rankings, Steele was ranked number 3 and Clemens was ranked number 6. In state rankings Steele ended the season at number 50 and Clemens ended at 88. The Steele Knights overcame the Clemens Buffs in a nerve-racking Battle of 3009 on Thursday, November 9. Clemens was soon knocked out of the playoffs during the Bi-District game against O'Connor after an overall great season. The Buffs ended their season at 8-3. Steele went on to advance through Bi-District, Area, Regional, and went to take on Westlake in the Quarterfinals. The Knights put up a good fight but were defeated by the Chaparrals 28-14. They ended their season 9-5. Six student-athletes from both schools have been selected to take part in the San Antonio Sports All-Star Football Game, presented by H-E-B, featuring the top local high school players in the region. The game will follow the U.S. Army All-American Bowl on Saturday, January 6 in the Alamodome. Kickoff is scheduled for 5:00 PM. Charley Zeno, offensive lineman; JayVeon Cardwell, defensive back; and Brenden Brady, running back will represent Steele High School. Carter Breu, defensive lineman; Marshawn Brown, running back; and Darius Vandyke, safety will represent Clemens High School. All six will play for the East team. These athletes have worked diligently, so go out and show your support at the All-Star game. The community is incredibly proud of the hard-working student athletes and their accomplishments throughout the season. We look forward to another successful 2018 football season. Oh how we love those Friday night lights!
