The McClain Tigers football program hosted their only 7-on-7 preseason scrimmage Wednesday morning as they faced the Southeastern Panthers and the Amanda Clearcreek Aces at McClain Field.
The three-team event was played where first and second teams of all three schools faced each other in a time frame of two hours.

McClain head coach Randy Closson spoke about how his team has prepared over the summer, as they were set to begin two-a-day practices the following day.
“This summer, headed into two-a-days, we are looking to build off last season’s success,” Closson said.
The success Closson is speaking of is the 2012 season, where the Tigers finished with a 7-3 record, finishing ninth in the former Region 12, one spot away from the postseason.
“We’ve had better numbers this summer than in past years, and we have a good core of players who were juniors last season leading the team as seniors right now,” Closson said. “They have come back, accepted their leadership roles and have done a good job providing that leadership this summer.
“We want them to continue to be leaders throughout the season. We are in a good spot headed into two-a-days.”
