Joshua is a perfect 10-0 against Cleburne since March of 2019 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Tuesday. The Owls will host the Yellowjackets at 5:30 p.m. The timing is sure in Joshua's favor as the team sits on seven straight wins at home while Cleburne has been banged up by four consecutive losses on the road.
