The Patriots (8-6) take on Tekamah-Herman (4-11) in the first round of the East Husker Conference Tournament from Leigh in action that will be aired on 107.9 the Bull Saturday afternoon.
The Tigers fell 66-34 at Howells-Dodge last Friday night.
Clarkson/Leigh beat Tekamah-Herman 55-35 on the road on Saturday, January 9th.
You can bet the Tigers will come ready to play and challenge the Patriots.
Tekamah-Herman has had the entire week to prepare, and I totally expect the Tigers to come out and play a good game.
Clarkson/Leigh has been playing really good basketball as of late though having won 6 out of their last 8 so you know the Patriots will be tough to beat this time around as well.
It should be an entertaining ball game that could truly go either way.
The winner gets Humphrey/Lindsay Holy Family at North Bend Tuesday night.
Tip-off is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. on the Bull.

Clarkson/Leigh (16-0) hosts Oakland-Craig (10-7) in the EHC Tournament Quarterfinals in Leigh Monday night.
The Knights won 56-25 at home over Wisner-Pilger in the first round of the EHC Tournament Friday night.
The Patriots must come ready to play on Monday.
Reason being Oakland-Craig is a threat to do something in this Tournament and cannot be taken lightly.
Clarkson/Leigh beat Oakland-Craig on the road 39-31 on December 8th.
That game was tight, and I certainly expect Monday's game to be tight and close as well.
The Knights are a better team than their record, in my opinion, and this is not your typical 1/8 matchup in the EHC Tournament.
These two teams played in the first round of State last year as well so you know they are very familiar with and will get after one another.
Tip-off is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
