August 20, 2010 - CENTRAL FLORENCE - HOME
Fall Jamboree at home against Central Florence. Last season the Wildcats were a second round playoff team in 4A. They have the nucleus of that team returning and should be very talented this fall.
August 27, 2010 - WEST LIMESTONE - HOME
Season game number one will be at home against West Limestone. The Wildcats broke a five year losing streak to the Colts with a 28-12 thrashing of Clements at West. This season's game will be on Friday night, not Thursday. It should be another thriller.
September 3, 2010 - COLBERT COUNTY - AWAY
In week two the Colts travel to Leighton to take on the tradition rich Colbert County Indians. Coach Cody Gross will lead the Tribe against the Colts in historical C.T. Manley Stadium. The Indians were 4-7 last season finishing #4 in 3A Region 8 play. The Colts previously played the Indians in 2007 at M.T. Newman Stadium, falling to the Tribe 20-8.
September 10, 2010 - DANVILLE - HOME
A new opponent will come into M.T. Newman Stadium in week two of region play. The Danville Hawks, a playoff team from 3A Region 7. Danville spent the first part of the 2009 season ranked in the ASWA top 10 rankings.
September 17, 2010 - SHEFFIELD - HOME
The Sheffield Bulldogs led by Coach Chris Tucker come to town in the fourth week of the season. The Bulldogs return to the Colts' schedule with the move up to 3A. The two teams last played each other in 2007 with the Colts winning the game 6-0 in the mud.
September 24, 2010 - ARDMORE - AWAY
Ardmore and Clements always have a thriller of a game when they get together. The two teams haven't played the past two years but in 2007 the Colts won at Ardmore with a last minute interception return. In 2006 the Tigers defeated the Colts in overtime with a playoff berth on the line. The 2005 game saw the Colts come back from a 34-12 deficit late in the fourth quarter to win 35-34. This years game should be another fun game for the fans as the rivalry is renewed.
October 1, 2010 - LAUDERDALE COUNTY - AWAY
The past two seasons have seen the Lauderdale County Tigers and Clements square off in the annual spring game. This season the neighbors from across the Elk River will return to the region schedule. The two teams have played fairly evenly the past two spring games. Coach Bob Grisham has brought back the option game to the Rogersville school.
October 8, 2010 - WEST MORGAN - AWAY
West Morgan suffered through a 2-8 campaign in 2009. This was an unusual season for the Rebels who are traditionally a 3A north power. The Colts will face a strong challenge in going over to Trinity to take on the Rebs.
October 15, 2010 - TM ROGERS - HOME
The TM Rogers Pirates come to MT Newman Stadium in week eight. The Pirates were a 4A Region 8 qualifier in 2009 as the #4 seed. The Pirates were a young team last season and should be a stong contender in 3A Region 8 in 2010. Former Clements assistant coach Kevin Davis is an assistant coach for the Greenhill team.
October 22, 2010 - ELKMONT - HOME
In week 9 of 2010 the Colts will face the final Limestone County rival of the season in the Elkmont Red Devils. Coach Don Jacobs has done an outstanding coaching job with the Red Devil program reaching the second round of the 3A playoffs the past two seasons. In 2009, the Colts broke a very long losing streak to the Red Devils by winning 27-14.
October 28, 2010 - BROOKS - AWAY
The powerful Brooks Lions return to the Colts schedule. It has been many years since the teams have played. Brooks was the 4A Region 8 runner up last season and lost to North Jackson in the first round of the playoffs. In the three years prior to last season Brooks had been at least to the third round of the playoffs each season. This Thursday night matchup will be a huge challenge for the Colts.
