Friday night Lexington will be in Little Axe for a makeup game with the Lady Indians.

Monday night the Lady ‘Dawgs have a date across the bridge with the Purcell Dragons then they play host to Little Axe again on Tuesday.

“This is new territory for this team and how we respond will determine how we play.

“We’ve put in the work and so far we’re a little ahead of where I thought we could be at this point in the season. The next seven days will be tough. It’s ours to lose.”
