Clinch County and Irwin County will face off for the 43rd time on Saturday morning. This meeting will be for the state title. Clinch County won the state title in 2015 and has won 6 titles overall. Irwin County has been in the state title game seven times but has won only once, when they went undefeated in 1975.
Irwin County bested Clinch 21-7 earlier this season. If the Indians are to win again, they will need a solid performance from QB Will Stephens and RB DJ Lundy.
For Clinch County, it’s not just a matter of slowing down Lundy and Stephens, as Irwin has several playmakers on offense. Clinch has a playmaker of their own in QB Charles McClelland. Look for him to match the performance of Will Stephens this week.
We expect a closer game than the last time, but does the result change…
As always, thanks for reading. Please feel free to comment and share.
