It was the Tommy McEvoy show in Pender Friday night as the Patriot Sophomore rushed for 328 yards on 24 carries, and scored 7 touchdowns while also adding another TD on an interception return to end the 1st half.
The Patriots led 26-0 at the end of one and won the 2nd quarter 12-8 to take a 38-8 lead into the locker room.
Clarkson/Leigh shutout the Pendragons 16-0 in the 3rd quarter to go up 54-8 at the end of three.
The Patriots won the 4th quarter 14-6 en route to the 68-14 victory.
QB Lance Paprocki added 76 yards rushing on 6 carries and a touchdown.
Clarkson/Leigh had 460 yards of offense, including 443 on the ground, while the defense gave up 129 yards of total offense, 68 of them rushing.
All I have to say is WOW, man oh man what a great performance from McEvoy. He was truly a man among boys out there Friday night.
Clarkson/Leigh (2-2) travels to Omaha Christian Academy (0-4) Friday night.
The Eagles lost 70-12 at Mead last week.
This should be a big and easy win for the Patriots.
I look for McEvoy to do his thing and for Clarkson/Leigh to roll.
I think the Patriots are the favorite to win the District based on what I saw Friday night, but Mead and Emerson-Hubbard could still have something to say about that.
I thought the Patriots really whipped the Pendragons up front, and look for Clarkson/Leigh to do the same to Omaha Christian Academy.
This is a game where everyone should get ample playing time.
The Patriots have to come out and take care of business and put the Eagles away early.
Clarkson/Leigh can't let Omaha Christian Academy hang around and think they have a chance.
The Patriots have to deliver the fatal blow early, and put this game out of reach by halftime.
I was very impressed with how ready to play Clarkson/Leigh was Friday night, and I look the Patriots to be ready again this week.
Clarkson/Leigh has to go out there and put together another complete game.
The Patriots can't take anyone lightly or for granted, and that includes the Eagles.
Clarkson/Leigh has to come out and play smashmouth, Northeast Nebraska Football and take it to Omaha Christian Academy.
The Patriots have to use this game as a game to get better for the final 3 regular season games.
The goal is to get better every week, and Clarkson/Leigh has to take even more steps forward this week.
McEvoy had a great game against Parkview Christian and an absolutely off the charts game against Pender so imagine what he'll do against Omaha Christian Academy.
It should be a great and successful night all the way around for the Clarkson/Leigh.
The Patriots should be 3-2 after this game, taking a 3-game winning streak into next week's home game against Cedar Bluffs.
