We had a very good year in football this year, but we had an even better year in the classroom. We had 27 of 54 players achieve Academic All District. We had 10 of 11 student trainers achieve Academic All District. We had 1 of 1 managers achieve Academic All District.
Our goal is to achieve 100% Academic All District. We were at 45% last year. Moved up to 50% this year. We will continue to work towards our goal.
Thank you for all of your support.

10 Offensive and 10
Defensive finalists for the Greater Houston High School Players of the Year,

Only one other school in the Houston area has two finalists: perennial powerhouse Galena Park Northshore. Remarkably, FBISD accounts for 7 of the 20 finalists, with two from Clements and one from each of these 5A schools: Dulles, Ellkins, Hightower, and Kempner; and one from 4A Lamar Consolidated.
The winners will be announced at the Touchdown Club's annual High School Awards Dinner on Wednesday, December 9. Congratulations to Andrew and Ray! - Wednesday, November 11, 2009: Varsity linebacker Robert Tolle was awarded third-place by the Houston Touchdown Club at their annual Football Scholar-Athlete luncheon today.

edition of the CHS football records.
Congratulations to Austin Decell and Brett Dunn, both of whom appear in the lists of the top dozen or so CHS offensive football players of all time in various categories.
Austin Decell is now in 4th place for the most passing yards in a season, and in 6th place for the most passing yards in a career. He also makes an appearance in the top-dozen single-season and career lists for most pass attempts, pass completions, touchdown passes, and (oops) interceptions.
Brett Dunn is in 8th place on the list for the most scoring in a career, with 87 points (6 touchdowns, 24 points-after-touchdown, and 9 field goals). He is tied for 1st place for the most field goals in a season (9) and is tied for 5th place for the most field goals in a career (also 9). He is also in 7th place for the most extra points in a season.
And both of these guys have another year to play!
(And by the way: Coach Bobby Darnell, who played at CHS in the mid-1990s, is still in first or second place in all six pass receiving categories.)

The CHS Rangers Varsity football team finished the 2009 season with a 7-3 record. In the 26-year history of CHS varsity football, only five teams have compiled a better win-loss record.
A good football season came to an abrupt end for the Clements Varsity Rangers Friday night in a heart-breaking 11-14 loss to Kempner.
Trailing by 14 early in the game, the Rangers never gave up. They fought back, played great defense, scored 11 points, and late in the fourth quarter drove the ball down to the Kempner 6-yard line with seconds remaining. Victory seemed near, but despite the valiant effort, the Rangers did not score, and Kempner came away with the victory and a spot in the playoffs.
Players and coaches: the fans love you! Thank you for your hard work, your dedication, and your passion for the game. You are champions in our eyes!
Details and photos coming sometime this weekend.

Sugar Land Sun article: "
Linebackers the key to Clements' success". A quote from the article:
Oppman leads the way with 84 tackles, including 16 for loss. Sumrall has 68 tackles, including five for loss. Tolle, a finalist for the Touchdown Club of Houston’s Scholar Athlete of the Year award, has 35 tackles, including six for loss, and two pass breakups. While the numbers favor him, Oppman said there is no competition for statistics. All three also are quick to credit the defensive line for opening things up for them to make tackles and the secondary for covering receivers long enough for them to make plays in the backfield.
- Link to Sugar Land Sun article on "District 23-5A Football Playoff Scenarios"
- 10/26/2009:
As of this week, according to Tolle's mathematical rankings of Texas 5A football teams, District 23 (FBISD) is, for the third week in a row, the second strongest of the 32 districts in Texas 5A football.
In those rankings, Hightower, Kempner, and Elkins are all in the top 25, and Clements is #37, out of about 300 teams. (Ignoring the non-5A teams in the list, Hightower is #1 and Clements is #31, out of about 240 teams.)

Miscellaneous
- A mathematical ranking of all 5A teams in Texas currently has Clements at #28 out of about 300, and 2nd in the district. On the other hand, using exactly the same mathematical formulation, but applying it only to the games played within the district, Clements is ranked 7th out of 10 in the district. Conclusion: it's too early in the season to trust the numbers!
