The boys of fall have returned to the gridiron.
Friday night, the Clinton Red Tornado football team (0-1) kicked off the season against Heritage Hall in the Tornado Bowl, where the Red Tornadoes would get shut out 30-0.
For Acting Coach Gene Ray, he said the mistakes the team made during the game begin with him and the staff not preparing the team well enough for this contest.
