Kasik led the way with 16 kills while Cassidy Hoffman had 7. Holly Kuhr posted 9 digs while Held dished out 25 set assists.
The Patriots continue to roll and play great Volleyball.
Clarkson/Leigh (11-3) hosts Class B Schuyler (3-9) Thursday night.
The Warriors lost 3-1 at home to David City on Thursday of last week.
This is the Patriots' chance to knock off the "big" school in Colfax County.
A school that was D-1 last year and is now C-2 going up against a school way larger than them.
Clarkson/Leigh has a big opportunity in front of them and can earn some extra power points with a win.
This would be a huge win for the Patriots despite Schuyler's struggles, in my opinion.
I think it would show Clarkson/Leigh they can compete with teams in larger classes if they don't believe that already.
The Patriots have some big matches coming up later on in the season, and I feel this match with the Warriors will help prepare Clarkson/Leigh for what lies ahead.
The Patriots have to come fired up and ready to go because you know Schuyler won't want to lose to a school that has been Class D-1 in the past and is two classes below them.
You can bet Clarkson/Leigh will get Schuyler's best shot so the Patriots have to be even more intense and play even harder than usual.
I think Clarkson/Leigh's big win over Logan View/Scribner-Snyder on Tuesday gives the Patriots the confidence they need to knock off Schuyler.
The Raiders are a solid C-1 team, and the Warriors are on the lower end of Class B.
It won't be easy for Clarkson/Leigh to beat Schuyler, but I think it can and will happen.
It doesn't matter if it's in 3, 4, or 5 sets....just as long as the Patriots find a way to win.
Clarkson/Leigh hosts a big tournament this weekend so a win over the Warriors would get the Patriots all pumped and fired up for the Clarkson/Leigh Invite on Saturday, in my opinion.
There are a lot of big matches and tournaments coming up for the Patriots so we will find out just how good Clarkson/Leigh is with this stretch run.
I look for the Patriots to keep coming through in the clutch like have all season long, but it won't be easy by any means.
Clarkson/Leigh has to be ready to bring it against Schuyler, and then again on Saturday for starters.
