Saturday night’s primetime high school matchup between Bartram Trail (FL) and Cartersville (GA) will have a distinct Clemson flavor. The teams will kick off the season tonight at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN2.
Cartersville has won 31 straight games and scored 600 points in each of the last two seasons. The Hurricanes’ quarterback, Trevor Lawrence, is a Clemson commitment and is rated by many services as the top quarterback nationally for the 2018 recruiting cycle. On staff at Cartersville as a defensive backs coach is former Clemson player Kyle Tucker.
Bartram Trail is the high school home of former Clemson quarterback Kyle Parker, but the Bears have former Clemson defensive back Xavier Brewer on the coaching staff.
