Making the playoffs will be the expectation this fall for the Clinton Maroons football team as the final week of the busy July schedule wraps up this week across the State.

For third-year coach Ron Bass and his captains, the expectations are high. Senior captain and quarterback Mason Walker believes this team has a chance to not only make the playoffs but win a playoff game.

Tristin Potts has been very happy with how his team has looked at 7-on-7 competitions and touts the improvements the team has made in the offseason.

Coach Bass says this team has set its goals high and he looks forward to watching them embark on those goals this fall.

The Maroons finish the 7-on-7 schedule tonight at Normal West and have their final day of summer camp on Wednesday. After that, 'dead week' is July 31 through Aug. 4 and the season officially gets underway Aug. 7 with the first day of practice.
