In the game about crowning homecoming royalty, the Clinton Red Tornadoes football team (4-5, 4-2) found itself on the wrong side of the score for the second straight week, as it fell 49-0 to the Elgin Owls (9-0, 6-0).
For Coach John Higbee, he said despite missing people due to injuries, they should’ve played better.
“We did not play well, but it is no excuse for this game when we are down multiple people due to injuries,” he said.
