A huge showdown is about to take place in the Tri-River Athletic Conference between The Bee\u2019s top-ranked Central East Bengals and No. 3 Clovis Cougars.<\/p>\n
Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. Friday at Koligian Stadium.<\/p>\n
The winner will at least clinch a tie for the TRAC title, while the other will hope for some type of miracle.<\/p>\n
The Bengals and Clovis are tied in the TRAC at 4-0. This game is The Fresno Bee Game of the Week with Bengals two quarterbacks leading the way for their teams: Jelani Dippel of the Bengals and Fresno State commit Deagan Rose for the Cougars.<\/p>\n

The Bee is 53-28 after going 6-4 in Week 9.<\/p>\n
Clovis at Central East: Expect a lot of fireworks in this game. Central East 56, Clovis 49<\/p>\n
Clovis North at Clovis West: The Golden Eagles will be a team to watch in the playoffs. Clovis West 43, Clovis North 27<\/p>\n
Buchanan at Clovis East (Lamonica Stadium): It was a good win for the Bears last week, but the Timberwolves are hungry for their first win in the TRAC. Clovis East 37, Buchanan 27<\/p>\n
Sanger at Madera: Hard to tell with this game. The Coyotes are struggling. It\u2019s a must-win for Madera, too, and they face the County\/Metro Athletic Conference leader in the Apaches. Madera 24, Sanger 20<\/p>\n
San Joaquin Memorial at Bullard (Ratcliffe Stadium): Hard to tell with this game also. The Bee has gone against SJM, but they won those games. Same with Bullard. Bullard 32, SJM 26<\/p>\n
Tulare Union and Dinuba: Both teams are excellent. Can the Emperors stop the high-scoring Tribe? Tulare Union 34, Dinuba 27<\/p>\n
Reedley at Kingsburg: This is another great game. Kingsburg 24, Reedley 17<\/p>\n
Washington Union at Central Valley Christian: The Panthers are tough to read this season. Can they keep the struggling Cavaliers at bay?
