Last 10 games: 5-5

Miscellaneous Notes: The double overtime, 1-point game Clarion & Cal played last season was no surprise ... The teams have seen at least one of their scheduled two games every year since 1987-88 be decided by seven points or less ... The 1-point decision was the 5^th game since the 1987-88 season that was decided by a single tally ... The Eagles and Vulcans have also played three additional games within three pts. ... 70 seems to be the magic number for Clarion ... The Eagles are 7-1 when they hold an opponent under 70 pts. this season but 2-7 when the opponent scores 70 or more ... It is a trend that has been prevalent since the start of the 1999-2000 season ... Clarion is 28-1 when it holds and opponent under 70 and 20-24 when the opponent scores more than 70.
