Laurens County Touchdown Club Names Aumar Robinson Player of the Week

The Laurens County Touchdown Club is proud to announce that for games played on November 10th, the Player of the week is senior defensive end and tight end Aumar Robinson of Clinton High School.

Robinson was instrumental in the Red Devils defeating Broome in the second round of the AAA playoffs by a score of 38 – 7 with a great defensive effort by Robinson and the Red Devil defense.  Clinton will advance and play BHP in the third round of the AAA playoffs Friday night at Belton – Honea Path.

Robinson, a Clinton High School senior, had 5.5 tackles for the Red Devil defense; three tackles for loss; three quarterback sacks and two quarterback hurries holding Broome to seven points after coming into the contest scoring over 40 points per game.

Clinton High School Head Coach Corey Fountain stated, “Aumar was our leading Devil defensive player Friday night.  He has matured as a person and a player.  Aumar has worked tremendously hard in the weight room and on the practice field to become a starter on defense.  He spent every day on the scout team the past three years trying to wreak havoc on the starting defense.  I’m sure at times he may have gotten frustrated but he kept coming to practice giving everything he had to give every day.  It has been awesome to see him transition into the starting rotation this year.”

The Laurens County Touchdown Club will honor Aumar on November 16th at the bi-monthlyTouchdown Club meeting.  The meeting will be at noon at The Ridge in Laurens.  Player of the Week awards this year is presented by Farm Bureau Insurance of Laurens County.
