Really solid stretch of matches for the Patriots. I feel Clarkson/Leigh is starting to hit their stride.

The Patriots (10-6) host their own Invite on Saturday.

I'm not for sure who Clarkson/Leigh all plays, but other teams in this tournament include Oakland-Craig, Howells-Dodge, Cross County, Chambers/Wheeler Central, and David City Aquinas.

It figures to be a tough and competitive tournament for sure, but I think the Patriots are ready.

I look for it to be a big day for Clarkson/Leigh Volleyball.

I think the Patriots will have a mighty fine day and come out and play well.

Clarkson/Leigh is on a roll right now, having won 5 out of their last 6 and 7 out of their last 9.

The Patriots are playing as well as anyone right now, and that's all you can really ask for at this point in the season.

Clarkson/Leigh is playing excellent and superb Volleyball, and beating some good teams as well as taking care of the teams they're supposed to beat.

I was really impressed with the Patriots's sweep of the Raiders Tuesday night.

I thought that match would go 4 or 5 sets easily, but Clarkson/Leigh came out and dominated.

That's a testament to the Patriots' hard work and improvement throughout the course of the season thus far.

Clarkson/Leigh has grown so much and gotten so much better since the season started.

This team ought to be awfully proud of themselves and each other for how far they have come.

With that said, the work is not done yet.

The Patriots need to keep pressing forward and have another great day of Volleyball on Saturday.

Clarkson/Leigh has to come through in the clutch like they have much of the season so far.

The Patriots have to keep the ball rolling, and continue this wave of momentum they currently have at the moment.

Clarkson/Leigh has to find that extra gear during close sets and matches, and find a way to come through in the clutch and make big plays.

I feel that's what it's going to take for the Patriots to do well and come through in this tournament.

I have complete faith Clarkson/Leigh can get it done too.
