A healthy and motivated group of Clinton football seniors are hoping to turn some heads this fall.

The Maroons hosted a 7-on-7 Monday night at Sprague Field with Sangamon Valley and Watseka. Seniors Noah Bass, Dawson Graves, TristIn Potts, and Colton Walker captain a team that just missed the postseason last year finishing 4-5. Graves is very pleased with how hard this team is working.

Walker has been very happy with the progress the team has made at 7-on-7s and in the weight room.

Noah Bass came to Clinton a few seasons ago from Tri-Valley and has seen a great deal of progress since he arrived.

Graves says the Maroons not only want to punch their ticket to the postseason this year but they want to win a playoff game.

While the Maroons were primarily a run-first team in 2022, Potts has been impressed with the progress of the passing game for Clinton so far in the preseason.

Monday night's 7-on-7 featured a lineman challenge. 

The Maroons open the 2023 fall season on Aug. 18 hosting Tremont.
