Boys

The Lexington Bulldogs are in Washington today (Thursday) to face Dove Science at 2:30 p.m. in Regional tournament action.

The winner of that game will play again at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Kellyville.

“We have a good chance of winning the game with Dove Science. They struggle some with pressure and aggressive defense and if we turn up the intensity, we can cause them some issues. We’ll have to stay out of foul trouble, too,” head coach Kyle Wells said.

District Tournament

Saturday night, Lexington was in Crooked Oak for a district championship. The Bulldogs dropped the game 96-52.

“Crooked Oak was tough. They really pushed the pace and we had trouble keeping up.

The Bulldogs jumped out, fast and furious, from the tip. They outscored Little Axe 22-5 in the first quarter and had a 41-16 halftime lead.

The game seemed to even up in the second half, but Lexington had already built a sizeable lead.

“The Little Axe game went really well; we played great as a team,” Wells said.

The Bulldogs finished the night with 21 assists, 19 steals and 44 rebounds, 16 of which were offensive.
