CLEAR LAKE — Clear Lake hosts Unity Christian of Orange City in the first round of the Class 2A football playoffs later tonight. The Lions are 5-3 overall and finished in a three-way tie for the District 3 championship with Osage and New Hampton at 4-1 and will face a Unity Christian squad that is also 5-3. Clear Lake coach Jared DeVries says his squad has been working on its run defense, which has been a concern after large rushing games by Crestwood and New Hampton against the Lions the last two weeks.

DeVries feels the matchup with Unity Christian is a fairly even one.

You can hear the Clear Lake-Unity Christian game on AM-1490/96.7-FM KRIB and kribam.com as well as watch it on the NFHS Network starting with the Radio Iowa Scouting Report at 6 o’clock, the pre-game starts at 6:15 with the kickoff from Lions Field scheduled for 7 o’clock.

You can hear the Newman-East Buchanan game on 93.9 The Country Moose and 939kia.com starting with the pre-game at 6:45 and the kickoff slated for 7 o’clock
