CHARLES CITY — 6th-ranked Clear Lake will try to put themselves in a position to capture the district title tonight as they visit Charles City in Class 3A District 2 play. The Lions dropped an opportunity to capture the district title last week but lost at Humboldt 34-0. Clear Lake coach Aaron Stensland says the team wants to correct last week’s mistakes and make a run that lasts well into November.

The Lions visit a Comets team that is 0-4 in a district that is by far the toughest in Class 3A, but Stensland says his team can’t relax against a group of talented athletes.

Clear Lake can capture the district title with a win coupled with Webster City beating Humboldt. If Clear Lake wins and Humboldt beats Webster City, Humboldt would win the district title. You can hear the Clear Lake-Charles City game on AM-1490/96.7-FM KRIB and kribam.com starting with the pre-game at about 6:15 with the kickoff from Comet Field scheduled for 7 o’clock. In the other Class 3A District 2 game tonight, Hampton-Dumont-CAL is at Algona.

 

 

 

 

MASON CITY — Mason City wraps up the regular season hosting Western Dubuque in a Class 4A District 2 contest. The Riverhawks are 2-6 after losing at Marion last week and now face a Bobcats squad that is 7-1 and the top team in Class 4A. Mason City coach Josh Reuter says they know tonight will be their toughest test of the season.

Coached by former Mason City coach Justin Penner, Reuter says Western Dubuque is a very solid program top to bottom.

You can hear the Mason City-Western Dubuque game on AM-1300 KGLO and kgloam.com starting with the pre-game at 7:15 with the kickoff slated for 7:30
