KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – Rivals Clear Lake High and Kelseyville High will meet on the football field this Friday for the fifth annual Bass Bowl.
The annual rivalry game will take place at Kelseyville High School, 5480 Main St.
Kelseyville won the first and the fourth Bass Bowls, while Clear Lake High won the middle two games.
With the series tied at two games apiece, Friday's game takes on a bigger significance.
Kelseyville is coming in with a 4-3 record, 1-3 in league, while Clear Lake is 3-4, but has dropped four in a row.
Both teams could still reach the playoffs by winning their remaining games, but winning the Bass Bowl Trophy will be all the teams will be focusing on come Friday night.
Due to a league realignment and a safety concern last year because of a problem with the Kelseyville stadium, every Bass Bowl until now has been played on the Clear Lake High home field.
The usual pomp and circumstance of the prior Bass Bowls will not be evident at this year's Bass Bowl due to a decision by the Kelseyville administration that the Civil War canon, jumbotron and other features of the Bass Bowl would not be practical at their venue.
The Bass Ball Trophy will be present and will either be retained by Kelseyville or handed over to Clear Lake High to take home for the coming year.
Fans and alumni from both schools are encouraged to turn out and cheer their team and wear their teams colors.
The cheer squads from both schools have some special programs on tap, and will be expecting the fans to cheer loudly with them.
