Lexington Catholic vs. Dunbar Updates/Predictions (43rd District Championship)

[DevilMayCare]

The Knights (20-1) and Bulldogs (11-5) have split two meetings this season, with Dunbar's 65-57 win on March 5th representing LexCath's only defeat. That night's events, coupled with a two point Catholic win eight days prior, suggest a hotly contested 43rd District final could be in store for tonight.

"Tip-off" is set for 8:30.
