CLARION, Pa. (EYT) – The Kerle Tire Game of the Week continues tonight with a Friday night playoff matchup between Union Area and Port Allegany in the PIAA Class 1A Semifinal, and EYT Media/D9Sports will have all of the action live from Memorial Stadium in Clarion. The Kerle Tire Pregame Show will start at 6:45 p.m. followed by kickoff at 7:00 p.m. with the area's favorite broadcast team, Mike Kalinowski and Bob "The Governor" Dunkle, on the call. ABOUT THE GAME It’s a difficult thing to ignore at this point for the Port Allegany football team and head coach Justin Bienkowski. One win away from playing for a PIAA Class A championship. Port Allegany (12-1) has never made it to a state title game. A decade ago, Bienkowski was an assistant coach on a Gator team that reached the PIAA semifinals, but lost. Port is back to that round again, where it will face District 7 champion Union Area (New Castle) at 7 p.m. on Friday at Clarion University. Read the full game preview here.
