Week 3 High School Football Preview

 width=After two hours of waiting out severe thunderstorms last Friday, the Clinton Maroons and Fithian Oakwood-Armstrong-Potomac played a very late football game before the Maroons were able to come away with a 22-20 victory on the road.

Tonight the Maroons make another long road trip to Shelbyville to play their inaugural game in the Central Illinois Conference. At 1-1, the Maroons are looking to get to an elusive fifth victory, which would qualify them for postseason play, something the Maroons haven't accomplished under John Hayden.

The high powered 2-0 Shelbyville Rams come in with dominating wins over Pawnee (47-12) and Rantoul (56-20). Shelbyville was just 3-6 last year and a victory tonight would match their win total from last year after just three games.

Game time tonight is set for 7 pm. Hear all the action starting on The Big 1520 AM/92.3 FM WHOW and streamed live online at dewittdailynews.com. After dusk, the game will be on WHOW's repeater, 92.3 FM.

 width=The Cerro-Gordo Bement Broncos are coming off a couple early season losses and are looking to right the ship tonight.

So far, the 0-2 Broncos have lost in overtime, 21-20, to Oakland Tri-County then had a heartbreaking loss to Pawnee in week two, 26-24. Tonight, the Broncos play their first home game as Toledo Cumberland comes to town for a 7 pm kickoff.

Starting tonight, you can catch all the action of Cerro-Gordo Bement football games on 95.9 FM WEZC and streamed live online at dewittdailynews.com. Game time tonight is set for 7 pm.
