Southeast at Clarkdale

Area Grid Teams Kick Off New Season Friday Night
Two Lauderdale County high schools take their first step into a new – for them – sport
Friday night when they field their first football teams in a game at Clarkdale High School. The
teams are the host Clarkdale School and the new Southeast Lauderdale County High School near
Vimville. This will be the first year of football for these teams as well as the West Lauderdale
team which opens its season September 14 against Northeast Lauderdale. The Northeast team
will be in its second year. The Clarkdale – Southeast game will get under way at 8 p.m. Bob
Ethridge is the head coach at Clarkdale and Dick Massengill is the Southeast coach.
Most other football teams in the Meridian area swing into action with games Friday
night, some of them in important conference games. There are three conference games on tap for
Friday in rugged Choctaw Conference where Louisville has been given the preseason nod as the
leading title contender. These league games match Louisville against Eupora at Louisville,
Noxubee County of Macon at Carthage and Kosciusko at Union. Other games involving
Choctaw Conference teams have Morton at Newton in a traditional season opener between these
two strong teams, DeKalb at New Hope, Quitman at West Point and Philadelphia at Starkville.
