“This was an awesome win for our team,” Knox Central coach Mitchell Madden said. “Clay is one the best teams in the region and to go into Clay and pull off a win is great for any team. I told my kids the atmosphere was going to be electric but if we could hold our composure and play smart we had a chance and they did just that. I’m so proud of all my kids & to all our fans that made the trip.”
