Lexington’s Bulldogs have been emphasizing better play from their offensive line during drills this week in preparation for Friday’s important district contest at Coalgate.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 with the Wildcats.

“Coalgate is a big game for us,” head coach Keith Bolles said. “Our goals are still ahead of us.

“We had a good practice Monday. We are still 1-1 in district and have a goal of making the playoffs which was our goal when the season started,” the coach said.

“We watched film Monday and went over our mistakes,” Bolles continued.

Coalgate is a spread team that calls a lot of plays at the line of scrimmage, Bolles reported. “They have good speed and good receivers and we’re looking forward to going down there and see what we can do.

When the Bulldogs are on offense they can expect Coalgate to line up in a 3-4 and occasionally walk their linebackers up to get a five man look.

The key is our execution on offense and the offensive line,” Bolles said. “Our defense has been playing pretty well this year. The O-line has been the point of emphasis this week.”

Lexington fell to Davis 53-0 at Floyd West Field last Friday night.
