Clear Creek has been on the road for two straight, but on Thursday they'll finally head home. They will take on the Platte Canyon Huskies at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Meanwhile, Platte Canyon had to start their season on the road on Thursday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They fell 41-31 to Colorado Springs School.
