The Kerle Tire Pre-Game Show will start at 6:50 p.m. with Dustin Kifer and “The Governor” Bob Dunkle on the call with Chris Rossetti providing pre- and post-game interviews.

The teams met December 22 at Clarion with North Clarion prevailing 76-73 behind 18 Nathan Banner points.

This time the stakes are much higher.

A win would keep North Clarion, who has won seven in a row and stands at 16-2 on the season overall and 7-1 in the KSAC North, in a virtual first-place tie with Clarion-Limestone atop the KSAC North and make Thursday’s makeup game at Keystone very important for both the KSAC North and KSAC South.

But if the Bobcats, who are 13-5 overall and 5-3 in the KSAC North and have won 11 of 12, can get the victory than C-L would claim its fifth straight KSAC North Title.

Banner leads North Clarion on offense averaging a team-best 16.6 points per game. While he is the only Wolves player in double digits, North Clarion offers a lot of balance behind its senior, he recently went over 900 career points.

Kyle Mills, the 6-foot-7 man-child, adds 9.6 points per contest with Jesse Schmader and Zander Hargenrader each adding 7.3 ppg and Keeven Weaver 6.6 ppg.

Clarion is paced by newly minted 1,000-point scorer Cam Craig (1,011 career points) who averages 18.1 points per game from his scoring point guard role. Austin Hummell adds 14.3 ppg while Spencer Miller, who did not play in the first meeting between the squads, chips in 6.5 ppg in 11 contests. Calvin German has been a solid young addition to the team and is averaging 6.3 ppg and is coming off a career-best 20-point effort in a win over Cranberry Friday.
