SCOTTSBLUFF – Sam Clarkson, a senior at Scottsbluff High School who’s one of the top football and basketball players in western Nebraska, is Nspire Today!’s Male Athlete of the Month for December, sponsored by Kristy Culek Agency, LLC-American Family Insurance. Clarkson started on the offensive line for the SHS football team this fall and helped lead the Bearcats to the Class B state championship game, where they came up just short against Omaha Skutt, 21-20. Scottsbluff, which also earned a runner-up finish in 2018, finished this season with a 12-1 record. Clarkson, who missed the 2018 football season due to an injury, also starts for the Bearcat boys basketball team. He is a Northwest Missouri State University football recruit. His parents are Julie and Darrin Clarkson.
