<div>CLAY CENTER — The Concordia High School football team travelled to Clay Center last Friday to take on the Tigers in an important week six game, with both teams needing the win to help with potential playoff placement. Unfortunately for the Panthers, they would be on the losing side, losing 28-0.After the successful showing that the Panthers had the previous week against Chapman, the Tigers went into the game keying on sophomore Drake Blochlinger, focusing on him on option plays and sending pressure every play to make him uncomfortable. Blochlinger would finish averaging 1.7 yards per carry.In a rare showing, the backbone of this Panther team, the offensive line and defense, did not have a good showing. The defense gave up 252 yards rushing, 151 going to the Tiger’s Eisaac Girton. There were countless plays where it looked like the Tigers would get stopped, only to have runners slip loose and gain additional yards.
