KILJ — District play continues on tonight as Week Six of the Iowa High School football season commences.
In our featured matchup on KILJ-FM, Mount Pleasant will be on the road to battle Iowa City Liberty.
The Lightning are coached by former Washington head coach James Harris, so it will be a familiar sideline foe for Shawn Striegel and company.
Liberty, who will be celebrating their homecoming, are coming off a 21-0 loss to the hands of North Scott, 4A’s No. 1 ranked program.
Entering 0-5, the Lightning have played the state’s most difficult schedule to this point according to BCMoore, with matchups already against Western Dubuque, Iowa City High, Linn-Mar, Clear Creek-Amana and of course North Scott.
Mount Pleasant, 1-4, is looking to rebound following a homecoming loss of their own last week to Fort Madison.
This will be the first matchup between the two teams.
Kickoff tonight is set for 7:30 p.m. you can listen on KILJ-FM beginning at 7:00 p.m. with the Panther Tailgate Show.
