Immokalee takes perfect record to Clewiston in Game of the Week

CLEWISTON, Fla. Bragging rights and more are on the line in this year’s Harvest Bowl.

Immokalee travels to Clewiston for a key District 5A-12 clash set for 7 p.m. Friday in the WINK News Game of the Week.

Clewiston has won four straight over the Indians since the series resumed in 2013. But Immokalee boasts a 5-0 record and the Tigers are just 2-2.

“Keeping the trophy is a big deal to everybody (on the team),” Clewiston coach Brad Garrett said. “They don’t want to have to give it up.”

The game always has special meaning, Immokalee coach Rodelin Anthony said.

“It’s just about two towns similar in demographics, two groups of guys who have very similar backgrounds and just want to settle who’s better,” he said.
