Good job of persevering after tough losses by Clarkson/Leigh.
The Patriots (6-5) take part in the Hampton Tournament on Saturday.
Clarkson/Leigh faces Mead, among other teams, in this tournament.
The Patriots have had good luck in this tournament the past couple of years, winning it in both 2017 and 2018.
Clarkson/Leigh beat the Raiders in the tournament both years as well so that should help them going into this one I would think.
Mead is 9-0 so far this season though so they are the real deal it appears.
I think this tournament is an opportunity for the Patriots to do damage and pick up some wins though.
I don't know if Clarkson/Leigh will win it for the 3rd year in a row, but anything is certainly possible.
The Patriots have played well lately, and a win over the Raiders is a definite possibility in this one for sure.
Clarkson/Leigh has to be on top of their game and must play well.
The Patriots need to get multiple contributions from everyone.
Hoffman, Settje, Held, Stodola, Schumacher, Lemburg, and Kasik all need to continue to play well for Clarkson/Leigh.
I really like what the Patriots have done lately, and feel they can find even more success in this tournament.
I look for Clarkson/Leigh to pick up at least 2 or 3 wins in this tournament and perhaps finish like 3rd?
I think the first match of the day against the Raiders will tell the tale for the Patriots for the day.
I think Clarkson/Leigh can run the table through the consolation bracket, but the Patriots would much rather be in the winner's bracket I'm sure.
And though more challenging I feel Clarkson/Leigh can do well in the winner's bracket as well.
The Patriots have to come out ready to go from the get go on Saturday.
The sweep wins over Arlington, Crofton, and Twin River should really help Clarkson/Leigh heading into the Mead match.
I think the Patriots are as well equipped right now as any point in the season to take on the Raiders.
It will be interesting to see what happens and what Clarkson/Leigh can do.
