BROOKVILLE – It’s a 10-0 start for the Clearfield Bison boys basketball team after defeating Brookville Wednesday night, 53-45, on the Raiders home floor in a non-league contest.
And it was no easy win for the unbeaten Bison.
Clearfield won the first two periods to go into the intermission with a 22-18 margin over the Raiders.
However, Brookville won the third eight minutes 18-14 to tie the game at 36-all heading into the final frame.
The final eight minutes was when the Bison stood tall, outscoring the Raiders 17-9 to come away with a hard fought road win.
Will Myers had 16 points for Clearfield with Cody Spaid adding 14.
Brookville was paced by Tate Canavan who dumped in 16.
Clearfield head coach Nate Glunt said afterwards, “I thought it would be a tough game, and it certainly was. Brookville played very hard and determined. But our kids battled and played tough also. We played back-to-back road games so it was nice to see us scrap and get the win tonight.”
The junior varsity game was also won by the Bison, defeating Brookville in a tight contest 39-38. Caleb Strouse was high scorer for Clearfield with 10.
Clearfield returns to action on its home court Friday night against Penns Valley. The JV game will tip off at 6 pm with the varsity to immediately follow.
