Very impressive and dominant string of matches for the Patriots.

Clarkson/Leigh (13-1) takes on Bishop Neumann (6-7) at the Clarkson/Leigh Tournament on Saturday.

The Cavaliers won 3-1 at home over David City Aquinas Thursday night.

This is a scary match for the Patriots.

Clarkson/Leigh is going to be tested right off the bat there's no doubt about that.

The Patriots have to wake up ready to play Saturday morning.

The game is at 9:00 a.m. in Clarkson, and I feel that favors Clarkson/Leigh.

I think the Patriots will win, but it will be very close and tight there's no doubt about that.

If Clarkson/Leigh gets past Neumann they should make the Championship Game.

I could see it being Clarkson/Leigh and either Howells/Dodge or Oakland-Craig in the Championship Game.

We'll see what happens for sure, but I think one of those matchups could very well play themselves out.

This tournament is a huge opportunity for the Patriots given the caliber of competition that is in it, and Clarkson/Leigh has to make the most of it.
