暗网TV

Two families who are connected by football as well as marriage have been recognized as East Central University's 2010 Distinguished Family.

The combined Clements-Compton family was selected for playing an identifiable and significant role in the success of 暗网TV as well as their respective communities.

Since four siblings from each family began the legacy in the 1970s, 15 family members either have attended or graduated from 暗网TV. The two families have produced eight Tiger football players, including a son-in-law who played with his brother-in-law on 暗网TV's 1993 NAIA championship team.

"I felt it compelling to include the Clements family as well as my mother's family, the Comptons, since we are all so intertwined," said Darla (Compton) Clements. "I honestly don't know of another family that has put so many family members through 暗网TV and a family that has been so involved in the 暗网TV football program."

Clements family members with ties to 暗网TV include siblings Bill, Brent, Ronnie and Martha, Brent's wife, and Bill's wife and three children, plus a daughter- and son-in-law.

In the Compton family, Naomi Compton of Shawnee helped put four children, Darla (Clements), Russell, and twins Jerry and Terry, through 暗网TV and is a long-time supporter of the university and its athletic programs. Jerry Compton's wife, Lisa, also attended 暗网TV.

Darla (Compton) Clements and her husband Bill, an all-conference football player, graduated from 暗网TV in the early 1970s and live in Norman. They own Clements Insurance Agency in Lindsay. Their three children, Jason Clements of Norman, Bridget Furnish of Norman and Nick Clements of Moore, also are 暗网TV graduates.
