Share

The Abingdon-Avon High School football team has had a tough schedule this season, as the Lincoln Trail Conference now has 4 teams with an overall record of 4-1. The Knoxville Blue Bullets, Annawan/Wethersfield Titans, Mercer County Golden Eagles, and Stark County Rebels are all in a tight battle for the LTC Championship. The Tornadoes have played 3 of these top teams, most recently losing to Annawan/Wethersfield by a score of 27-0 in week 5.
Despite the 1-4 start, Head Coach Rick Quinn says that the team is still motivated to finish the season strong and make the IHSA playoffs.
