Clarkson-Leigh won their third straight game in a row on October 4, 2019, at home against Omaha Christian Academy on Homecoming night. 

The Patriots started the game off strong, scoring a whopping six touchdowns in the first quarter. Lance Paprocki, Isaak Wiese, Kyle Kasik, and Eli Hays all reached the end zone in the first quarter. Four out of the six two point conversions were put in, making the score 44-0 going into the second quarter. 

In the second quarter the Patriots reached the end zone three more times. Hays and Kasik reached the end zone again while Carter Hanel scored off a 15-yd fumble return. The Patriots put two of the two-point conversions in, putting them up big heading into halftime with a lead of 66 to 0. 

In the third quarter Jase Indra scored his first career touchdown, but the two-point conversion failed. 

In the fourth quarter Kasik reached the end zone one last time while the Patriots again put in the two -oint conversion after. The Patriots won the game with a score of 80 to 0. 

When asked about the lopsided game, coach Bryan Becker said, “The linemen did a good job on both sides of the ball. The backs hit the openings hard and quick resulting in numerous scoring plays. This team continues to improve each week.” 

Freshman Drew Beeson said, “The game was fun to play. It was a great night for football. We worked the whole offseason to be the team we have become. The game really showed our success.”
