Murphysboro gets standing ovation despite loss in championship g - WSIL-TV 3 Southern Illinois

DEKALB (WSIL) -- It was a disappointing end to a historic season for the Murphsyboro Red Devils. The team lost 50-14 in the state title game.

Murphysboro never really got going against a tough Richmond-Burton squad.

The area community turned out in big numbers to support the Red Devils and some got to the game a little bit late due to bus issues.

Murphysboro had fans on charter busses to get them here to support. We were even told one of them broke down on the way but happy to see everyone safe and cheering loud! pic.twitter.com/j7Fef8Ezxi
