Devils ready for Salem in Class 4A playoff clash
Murphysboro high school brings a 9-0 Red Devils squad to Bencini Field to face Salem 8-1 in a first round game. The winner advances to meet Roxana or Rantoul, as Murphysboro’s defense has yielded 35 points all season while Salem relies on a strong defense and a lean offense led by Kerry Martin and Jeff Meador. If star runner Bobby Kellum is out with bruised ribs, Jerry Bankhead or Terry Alexander may carry extra duty as Tim Flanigan directs the offense with receivers Clay Brewer and Jay Wittenborn on hand.
