MACON LOOKS FOR REVENGE IN DISTRICT SEMI FINAL AGAINST CLARK COUNTY

The Macon Tigers will travel to Kahoka Friday night for a district semi final showdown with the Clark County Indians. Earlier this season, the Tigers potent offense was shut down by their Clarence Cannon Conference rivals in a 20-0 defeat. Macon coach Pete Claas says the Indians really get after it on defense.

The Tigers will hope the return of quarterback Blake Claas will help spark their offense against the Indians. Claas missed the regular season finale against Centralia due to injury. He returned to action last week and played the full game to lead the Tigers to a 42-34 win over Bowling Green in the opening round of districts. While the Tigers will look to crack the Clark County defense, they will also have to deal with a pair of formidable running backs for the Indians.

In their week 7 regular season meeting, Macon switched defensive schemes and were able to hold the Clark County offense to two offensive touchdowns in the game. Clark County coach Ethan Allen feels they are ready to make the necessary offensive adjustments this week.
