The first Clinton High School football team was formed during the 1923-24 school year. It was originally known as the Orange and Black "Tornadoes" and then became the "Dragons" some time before the 1930s. The field was reached by crossing Town Springs, and there were no bleachers or lights. Roscoe Hendrickson was the first captain and quarterback. Except for a few of the first games played at the fairgrounds, the CHS football team has played here from the beginning.
