The Clearfield Bison are taking a road trip to take on the Somerset Eagles at 7:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither of those teams managed to put together many points in their previous contests, so the offenses might be a little more motivated than usual.
On Friday, a win is a win, as they say, even a pretty close 12-6 victory over Bald Eagle Area. Those 12 points were actually the fewest the Bison have put up all season, but given the result they're probably not too concerned.
