Really good win for Clarkson/Leigh.
The Patriots (11-1) take on Lutheran High Northeast (11-1) on the road Tuesday night.
The Eagles won 56-51 in overtime at home over Battle Creek Thursday night.
LHNE is super solid, but I feel like Clarkson/Leigh has a more impressive resume thus far.
I think the Patriots have a bigger win than the Eagles do beating Howells-Dodge, and feel their schedule as a whole has been tougher.
With that said, it is never easy to win on the road, and the game being in Norfolk adds a dimension that makes things really interesting.
I think we’ll find out a lot about both teams in this game, and see just how good each team really is.
