The Kerle Tire Pre-Game Show will start at 7:20 p.m. with Mike Kalinowski and “The Governor” Bob Dunkle on the call with Chris Rossetti providing pre- and post-game interviews.

C-L enters the game at 1-1 on the season after splitting a pair of games at the Grove City Tip-off Classic, while Clarion is 0-2 after losing twice at the Keystone Tip-off Tournament.

In the early going this year, C-L is without 1,000-point scorer Ian Callen, who hurt a knee during football season. A timetable for Ian Callen’s return hasn’t been established.

Without its senior leader, the Lions have turned to junior Deion Deas and sophomore Hayden Callen, Ian’s younger brother, to lead the way. Deas is averaging 28.5 points per game through two contests including a 31-point performance in a season-opening loss to General McLane and a 26-point effort in a win over Fort LeBoeuf. Hayden Callen, meanwhile, adds 18.0 points per game and is coming off a 20-point effort in the win over the Bison.

Sophomore Cal German leads the way for Clarion averaging 21.0 points per game including a 29-point effort in a loss to DuBois Friday night. But German is the only Bobcats player averaging more than six points per game early on. Nick Frederick and TiJon Faulk-Taylor both come in averaging six per contest, but all 12 of Taylor’s points came Saturday in a loss to Keystone when he hit four first-half threes on his way to the career-high 12 tallies.
