The Charles City Comets will look to defend their home field on Friday against the Clear Lake Lions at 7:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last game, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this match.
Charles City's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Thursday after their fourth straight loss. They took a serious blow against Hampton-Dumont/CAL, falling 46-0.
Meanwhile, after a string of seven wins, Clear Lake's good fortune finally ran out on Friday. They were outmatched by Humboldt on the road and fell 34-0. Clear Lake was already down big by the end of the third quarter and they stayed that way after failing to score in the fourth.
Charles City's defeat was their third straight on the road, which dropped their overall record down to 3-5. Those losses could be blamed on the team's offensive performance across that stretch, as they only averaged 12 points per game. Having lost for the first time this season, Clear Lake fell to 7-1.
