A last-minute change by an opponent on the Clinton Maroons football schedule has left the high school athletic department scrambling this fall looking for an opponent.

Pawnee was scheduled to be the Maroons week two opponent this football season but the school made a change at the last minute to go to eight-man football and Athletic Director Matt Koeppel says it has left him scrambling to find an opponent.

The Maroons aren't the only Central Illinois Conference team looking for a week two game. Keoppel says Decatur St. Teresa is also looking for an opponent and the two are collaborating to find opponents instead of having to resort to perhaps playing each other twice during the year.

The Maroons open their season at South Fork on August 30. If the Maroons do not find an opponent and decide to take on St. T in week two, they would not meet up with the Bulldogs again until week six, October 4 in Clinton.
