Chieftains get road victory

CLEVELAND — After an O-4 start in its first season in Class 4A, Seminole is finding some midseason success.
The Chieftains got their second straight District 4A-2 victory Friday, a 20-15 road win at Cleveland. Seminole was coming off a 21-13 homecoming win over Mannford.
Quarterback Garrett Clark led Seminole Friday with two touchdowns (one passing and one rushing) and 184 yards through the air. He completed 13 of 21 passes.
Clark’s TD pass got Seminole on the scoreboard first ­— an 8-yard connection with Josh Cramer in the second quarter. Zach Megee’s extra point gave the Chieftains a 7-0 lead.
The Tigers responded with a drive that ended with Kyle Kesner scoring on a 4-yard run. Michael Hendricks’ extra-point kick went awry, however, and Seminole was up 7-6.
Clark also got his rushing TD in the second quarter with a 1-yard score.
Hendricks cut Cleveland’s deficit to 14-9 just before halftime with a 22-yard field goal.
Cleveland (1-5, 0-3) took a 15-14 lead in the third quarter when Kesner scored on a 69-yard run. He finished with 219 yards on 24 carries to the lead the Tigers.
Seminole’s Myron Barnes got the 3-yard TD run in the fourth quarter that gave the Chieftains their win.
Tristain Johnson was Seminole’s leading rusher with 68 yards on 17 carries. Barnes ran 14 times for 49 yards.
Seminole will be home Thursday night to face Star Spencer.
