NEW RICHMOND — Clinton-Massie flexed its defensive muscle Friday night in a 42-0 win over New Richmond in the regular season finale at NRHS.

The Falcons (8-2) closed the season with seven wins in a row, four of those coming against playoff teams. In all, Clinton-Massie played seven playoff teams this season. The only losses were to 10-0 Tri-Valley and 9-1 Coldwater.

Clinton-Massie will be the No. 1 seed in Division IV Region 16, that unofficial ranking according to Joe Eitel late Friday night.

The shutout was the second of the season for the Falcons. They held the Lions to just 90 yards on 36 offensive plays from scrimmage. New Richmond had 13 yards and one first down on its initial play of the game but was then shut down by a swarming, hard-hitting Falcons defense.

Meanwhile, Massie rolled up 429 yards of offense, 100 coming through the air. Jack Elkins caught a pair of touchdown passes — one each from Baron Phipps and Kaden Zantene.

Peyton Warren ran for 101 yards and a touchdown to lead the CM ground game.

Clinton-Massie recorded 25 first downs in the game.
