Heck of a win for the Patriots over Lakeview.

The Patriots are back in action on Monday when they battle Fillmore Central (0-6) at the Shelby-Rising City Holiday Tournament.

On the other side is Shelby-Rising City (2-4) and Arcadia/Loup City (3-3).

I feel like this tournament is wide open.

I think Clarkson/Leigh has a shot to win the tournament.

If the Patriots play the way they did on Tuesday then they can beat any of the teams in this tournament.

That win over Lakeview had to be a real confidence and moral booster for Clarkson/Leigh.

Now the Patriots have to build off of it and try and go win themselves a championship.

Game time is scheduled for 5:15 p.m.

Mighty impressive win for the Patriots on Tuesday.

Clarkson/Leigh is a perfect 8-0 heading into the Christmas Holiday Break, and is sitting atop the Wildcard Point Standings in Class C-2.

The Patriots have to be pretty happy with where they are right now, but have to keep going.

Clarkson/Leigh faces Fillmore Central (2-4) in the first round of the Shelby-Rising City Holiday Tournament on Monday.

On the other side of the bracket is Arcadia/Loup City (1-5) and Shelby-Rising City (3-4).

This tournament is honestly the Patriots' to lose, in my opinion.

Clarkson/Leigh won it last year, and I look for the Patriots to win it once again this year.

Clarkson/Leigh should have no trouble in either game I wouldn't think.

The Patriots should be 10-0 heading into the 2021 Calendar Year. 

Game time is slated for 3:30 p.m.
