Clarkson/Leigh (4-5) takes on Pierce (8-2) at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City on Friday.
The Bluejays beat South Sioux City 63-36 at the Knight Classic at Fremont Bergan on Saturday.
This is a tremendous challenge and opportunity for the Patriots.
It's good exposure for the players and a great experience as well.
Pierce is a very good team, and Clarkson/Leigh is going to have to play a great game to come out on top.
If the Patriots are on offensively then you never know what might happen.
You have to be concerned with the health and freshness of the team though due to COVID.
With that said, Clarkson/Leigh has to go in there and give things their best shot on Friday.

The Tigers lost 56-34 at home to David City on Saturday.
The Patriots have been perfect so far this year.
Clarkson/Leigh has used their defense to grind out some tough wins.
Not that they'll need to grind things out Friday night though.
I look for the Patriots to win big on Friday and at Tekamah-Herman on Saturday.
Next week will be much more difficult and we will really find out just how great this Clarkson/Leigh team really is.
But for now the Patriots have to focus on playing well and winning big and letting their play on the court speak for itself.
