This is kind of a late post - but I want to put my two cents worth in. Bottom line - I believe NW was the better team and deserved to win. However - I was at this game, and noone has given Lexington the credit I think they deserve.
Can they finish - well that's a challenge, but they are a very tough team with a bright future. In my opinion, the defense has held them together all year. Maki, Howard, and Osborn, along with the other defenders have had an incredible year.
When their offense matures and steps up - watch out!
