A missed extra point by Kennett Kicker Parker McClain in the 4th quarter proved to be the difference as the Salem Football Tigers edged the 2nd seeded Indians in the Class 3, District 1 Semi-Final Friday night by the score of 14-13 in Kennett. Cameron Camden scored in the 2nd quarter on a two-yard quarterback sneak and Quinci Leslie, on his first run of the night, scored on a 46-year run early in the 3rd quarter. Nick Holliday hit both extra points for Salem. Kennett had taken a 7-0 lead in the 1st quarter on a seven-yard run for X’Zavier Whitfield. The Indians second touchdown came on a 41-yard pass from Patrick Maddox to Zane Wallace with 6:21 left in the game. Salem is now 8-3 on the year and will be at Park Hills Friday night at 7:00 in the district final.
