McLean County must have had a lot of rivalries between the towns of Washburn, Turtle Lake, Underwood and Garrison, but I think Garrison and Washburn played 11-man when there were three divisions in the 1970s and 1980s. Underwood and Turtle Lake played in Region 4 in the early 2000s along with perennial state powers Linton-HMB, Strasburg-Zeeland and Napoleon. One of the best playoff games I ever saw was in 2002, when Underwood upset defending state champion and top-ranked Strasburg-Zeeland, 28-24. Underwood scored a touchdown on a deflected pass with about a half a minute left to win it.
I know it is in Sheridan County, but when was the last time McClusky had a football team?
