Macon-East’s defense made sure it would not see a repeat of last year’s offensive shootout with Edgewood as the Knights locked in and limited the Wildcats for most of the night. Macon-East scored three touchdowns in the opening quarter and never looked back, handing Edgewood its first loss of the season in a 42-14 defeat on a rainy night in Cecil.

“Well the first thing is I want them to understand that’s on me,” Edgewood coach Chad Michael said. “I didn’t do my job to get them prepared and get them ready. I got outcoached tonight. We have to learn from it and get back to work to get better.”
