The Grove City Eagles will head out to challenge the Clearfield Bison at 7:00 p.m. on Friday.
Grove City is headed into Friday's game hungry for a win as their strong season has now been derailed by two straight defeats. They were four points away from ending the streak, but they lost a 44-40 heartbreaker at the hands of Hickory.
Meanwhile, it's playoff time, and Clearfield had no trouble coming through when it counted. They walked away with a 68-60 victory over Obama Academy of International Studies on Saturday. Given the Bison's advantage in MaxPreps' Pennsylvania basketball rankings (they are ranked 175th, while the Eagles are ranked 412th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Clearfield has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 15-9 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 59.6 points over those games. Grove City's loss dropped their record down to 18-8.
