Friday night’s Lincoln-Land Large School Division battle between Farmington and Macomb was the type of game many people dream about.
For 43-plus minutes, the two unbeatens battled at MHS Stadium. But a pair of late scores by the visiting Farmers allowed them to leave McDonougb County with a hard-fought 30-16 victory.
Farmington, ranked No. 3 in Class 2A by the Associated Press, clinched a playoff spot in moving to 6-0 overall, 5-0 in division play.
Macomb, playing its homecoming contest, suffered its first loss in slipping to 5-1 overall, 3-1 in division play.
“The last three years, they’ve been great battles, one score games going into the fourth quarter,” said MHS coach Tanner Horrell.
