Jeff’s Humphrey-Lindsay Preview:
Clarkson/Leigh (2-3) takes on Humphrey-Lindsay (3-2) on the road Friday night. The Bulldogs won 26-12 at home over Newman Grove/St. Edward last week.
Jeff’s Take on the Contest:
I think the Patriots win this one handily. Humphrey-Lindsay hasn’t really beaten anyone and their win over Madison was 54-22. Clarkson/Leigh’s was more impressive, and those are the two reasons I like the Patriots in this one. I really feel like the Patriots are on a collision course to play David City for the District Title to end the regular season. That will be a great game, but Clarkson/Leigh has to focus on beating Humphrey-Lindsay first.
