Lee has enjoyed the comforts of home their last four games, but now they'll head out on the road. They and the Union Bears will face off at 6:00 p.m. on February 9th without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.
Last Tuesday, Lee was the victim of a tough 70-48 loss at the hands of Rye Cove.
Despite the defeat, Lee got a solid performance out of Kinley Huff, who scored 29 points along with seven rebounds and two steals. That was a full 60.4% of Lee's points, marking the sixth time in a row she's earned more than a third of the team's points. The team also got some help courtesy of Taylor Bishop, who scored 13 points along with five rebounds.
Meanwhile, Union's recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Wednesday after their third straight loss. They were beaten by Honaker 58-30.
