Late touchdown lifts Clarkston past Highlanders

The Clarkston football team made it two wins in as many weeks with a victory against Rochester Adams last Friday.
The Wolves (2-0) captured the victory thanks in large part to junior receiver Brad Goodman. Goodman caught a 50-yard touchdown pass from Sam Palace with about four minutes left in the contest to lead Clarkston to the win.
An interception by Ryan Kaltz in the closing seconds held off a late Highlander charge.
“It was a huge win,” Clarkston coach Kurt Richardson said. “They are the defending champions and the game was at their place. It was a big win.”
Clarkston’s Mark Thornberry had a 30-yard and 18-yard field goal. Nick Blackstone scored the Wolves other touchdown. He finished with 125 rushing yards on 26 carries. Addison Turk led the Clarkston team in tackles.
Up next for the Wolves is 0-2 Southfield.
“They have some great athletes and speed to kill,” Richardson said.
The game is set for 7 p.m. at Clarkston High School.
