🏀 New Lexington’s basketball squad is prepping to defend their championship title as they approach the new season, but they're doing so with a bit of a late start. Following a successful football campaign, two-thirds of the roster joined the basketball practices a little behind schedule, leading to a condensed training plan as shared by head coach Jeremy Duerr. Despite the challenges, the team looks to build on last year’s success and instill a focus on hard work rather than resting on past laurels. The Panther's first game is set for December 3rd against Chillicothe, followed by a matchup against last year’s big school winners, Tri-Valley. Coach Duerr emphasizes that the path to victory lies in daily effort and dedication, as they look forward to a promising season ahead.
