The Marquette Catholic Explorers will look to take advantage of their home-field for the first time this season as they take on the Clinton Maroons at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Marquette Catholic is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were beaten by Civic Memorial 43-2 on Friday. The Explorers just can't catch a break and have now endured seven defeats in a row dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Clinton gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Friday. They breezed by East Alton-Wood River at home to the tune of 57-0. Given the Maroons' advantage in MaxPreps' Illinois football rankings (they are ranked 221st, while the Oilers are ranked 458th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
