The Lexington Yellowjackets lost against the Forbush Falcons back in February, and unfortunately they wound up with the same result on Tuesday. Lexington was beaten by Forbush 70-20. While losing is never fun, Lexington can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' North Carolina basketball rankings (they are ranked 435th, while Forbush is ranked 94th).

Elkin is also coming in off of a big victory, so somebody is in for a big reversal of fortune.
