Off-field tragedy helped galvanize a 2017 playoff season for James M. Bennett. The patriarch of Clipper football, Tracy Gibson wife of head coach Hoot Gibson, lost her battle with pancreatic cancer. In part to honor her memory, Bennett produced a 7-4 record.
Many of those Clippers who experienced that run return for 2018. Gibson brings back seven starters on both offense and defense including leading pass catcher Jahryn Long.
