On Friday, Oct. 15th the Clinton Redwolves Varsity Football Team defeated Madison 24-21 at home. It was an eventful night as the Redwolves honored the seniors and their parents for senior night. Then we were able to recognize our youth football players and coaches. Started a new tradition as the youth players followed the varsity players out of the tunnel and wolf head to start the game. Something those young players will want to do later when it is their turn to play varsity football. The scoring started out after Clinton drove the ball down to the 10 yard line and fumbled. Madison returned the fumble 90 yards for a touchdown and their point after was good. Madison was up 7-0. Clinton responded back with a run by Gradyn Whelan for a 65 yard touchdown.
