The Burleson Elks are taking a road trip to take on the Cleburne Yellowjackets at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Burleson's offense has struggled lately (the team hasn't scored more than a single goal for three straight games), a trend the team is no doubt ready to end.
Burleson took a loss when they played away from home on Friday, but their home fans gave them all the motivation they needed on Tuesday.
