BROOKVILLE, Pa. (EYT) – The Kerle Tire Game of the Week kicks off tonight with a Friday night matchup between Central Clarion, and Explore Sports will have all of the action live from Brookville.
The Kerle Tire Pregame Show will start at 6:30 p.m. followed by kickoff at 7:00 p.m. with Mike Kalinowski and Bob “The Governor” Dunkle on the call.
Dave Katis, a new addition to the Explore broadcast team, will also be providing commentary.
ABOUT THE GAME
It’s a rematch of the District 9 Class 2A championship game, won 35-0 by Central Clarion on a cold November night in Karns City. And this is one of only three home games on the schedule for the Raiders when they kick off against the Wildcats at 7 p.m. on Friday.
“Based on everyone’s opinion in District 9, they are the team to beat,” said first-year Brookville coach Gabe Bowley, who served as an assistant under Scott Park for the Raiders since 2017. “That’s how we’re going to go in and how we’re going to approach them. We’re looking to give them a game and give them everything that they can handle. Win or lose, we’re gonna come out of this with a good measuring stick of where we stand in District 9. That being said, we can go back and work to be the best football team that we can be and look farther down the road to Week 11 and Week 12. Week 1 is important and we’re exciting for the challenge to start the season.”
It will be a vastly different Raider team than the one Central Clarion faced for the district crown.
