LaBelle and East Lee County are an even 4-4 against one another since January of 2016, but not for long. Having just played yesterday, the Cowboys/Cowgirls will head out on the road to face off against the Jaguars at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday. LaBelle knows how to get points on the board -- the team has finished with 55 points or more in their past four games -- so hopefully East Lee County likes a good challenge.
