North Posey (4-0) at Heritage Hills (4-0) -- Bob Clayton Hall of Fame Plaza Dedication Night


Recommended Posts

I thought I'd give this it's own thread.  It is a big night in Lincoln City.  We have a battle of the unbeatens on homecoming and we have the dedication for the Bob Clayton (320-74) Hall of Fame Plaza.  Should be a packed night. 

 

Dedication Night

On Friday, September 15th, we will officially dedicate the Bob Clayton Hall of Fame Plaza and also honor one of the best all-time high school football coaches in the nation.

 

A winning tradition, current successes and hopeful future are all things that we want to focus on at all times when it comes to Patriot Football. This project will help us effectively establish a permanent landmark to showcase the great history of Patriot Football, while providing past, present and future Patriots a place to gather, reminisce, dream and cheer on our Patriot Football teams in seasons to come.

Bob Clayton (320-74)

 

With that said, former Patriot Football Head Coach, Bob Clayton, has made a tremendous impact on so many people and the success of the program.

 

Please join us prior to kickoff (approx. 6:30pm CST), as we welcome Bob Clayton back to The Jungle and show our appreciation for the culture he has built within the Patriot Football program!

Bob Clayton..truly one of the remarkable coaches in the history of Indiana High School football.  Playing in that era...there was an aura around HH football that felt untouchable.  Those late 90's early 2000 teams were the best of the best. To be able to defeat the Patriots in 2005 at the Jungle was one of the hallmarks of my playing career...and that HH team still went on to semi state in an OT loss to Chatard.

Yeah, we literally only had a couple losses in the regular season in that entire decade (00-09).  The previous year ('04) we beat Chatard and should have won state, there are those that would say that '04 team was better than the team that won state in 2000.  That was a special time.  Bob pulled off something in a 10 year period that I don't know if has really been duplicated in rural public school football in Indiana.

I would agree. I count only 11 regular season losses from '94-'11. What is the number for his entire career? HH was definitely the PAC top dog for 20+ years.

Bob Clayton (320-74)

He could take a normal, average athlete kid and squeeze every ounce  out of him.  Back in those days, the lineman weighed a max of 170-180 lbs and would shred kids 100 lbs heavier--he formed drive in those kids.  But, things were different then, he had some coaching techniques that you couldn't get away with in today's world.  Somewhat unorthodox.  🙂

That is an incredible record. How many of those 74 losses were regular season? I know we sure had some epic battles with HH during his time there. I always enjoyed making that drive and seeing a game in the Jungle, expect in 2008 when it was played in a monsoon...

It was the regional championship. HH was 8-3 and we were 10-2. It was the first meeting in 5 years between the two schools. It poured from the time I left Evansville until I got home. Final score was 6-3 Memorial and it was a sloppy mess of a game. Neither team could do much of anything.

I am going to give much credit to North Posey.  I'm guessing they are going to give Southridge all they want.  Great team.  If not for a couple penalties and a couple mental errors, this could have been a different outcome.  @Cappy  Good luck in sectionals....that is a good team and I'm really glad for a couple slip ups....

I was really pleased with our effort and thought our defense was really sound except for a few plays. HH was physical (as expected) and really played the game the right way (as usual.) Good luck to you guys as well.

We were untouchable. 15-0, 13-1, 13-1, 13-1, unbeaten freshman year, unbeaten in two JV years

Wishbone down your throats and a very heavy 5-2 defense that bent but rarely broke.

F Chatard.
