The Patriots (1-11) host Tekamah-Herman (2-9) Tuesday night.
The Tigers lost 60-43 at Lyons-Decatur Northeast Friday night.
Tekamah-Herman is led by Derek Haber and Gus Langley, who do the majority of the scoring for the Tigers.
Like I said in the Tekamah-Herman post, Clarkson/Leigh might be the more well rounded and better team offensively.
Both teams struggle to stop people.
This game could be decided by who wants it more and who plays better on both ends of the floor.
The Patriots have to clamp down defensively, and look to run offensively.
Clarkson/Leigh has to turn in one of their better performances of the season to come out on top.
The Patriots are due to break through, and I feel Clarkson/Leigh has a good chance to win Tuesday night.
It will be interesting to see what happens. I think a loss would be pretty devastating for the Patriots.
Clarkson/Leigh is due for and could really use a win.

The Tigers lost 56-52 at Lyons-Decatur Northeast Friday night.
Tekamah-Herman is a good team, but the Patriots have to be confident in their abilities given the way they played against North Bend Central.
Clarkson/Leigh has to slow down Allie Snow, Jess Fleischman, and Hannah Tobin, among others.
Scoring is going to be a big deal in this game. The Patriots have to find a way to put the ball in the basket.
The Tigers are probably more polished offensively and have more scorers than Clarkson/Leigh.
That simply means the Patriots have to develop some scorers and breakout on offense.
We will see what Clarkson/Leigh can do Tuesday night. I think the Patriots have the potential to make this game close, but I could see Clarkson/Leigh getting blown out as well.
A lot of it is going to depend on how well the Patriots play and execute, in my opinion.
Clarkson/Leigh has to limit turnovers and take care of the ball. Getting to the charity stripe and knocking down free throws will be important for the Patriots as well.
It's the little things that could make a big difference in this game for Clarkson/Leigh.
