Lexington Eagles Varsity Football Players



Sports Thoughts



Xavier Ward has scored twice in each of the first two games. Lexington has put two X’s in the opponents end zone. Maybe the Eagles will be able to put more X’s in the end zone. Cameron will be a tough game for the Eagles. If Lexington can play a complete game, defensively like against Smithville and offensively like against […]

School Supply Snafu



The traditional school year is starting again. This year, like every other year, I fall into the School Supply Trap. You’d think I’d know better after more than 20 years of First Days of School. Most moms want to be proactive and don’t want to put off school shopping until the last minute. We wait in earnest anticipation for the […]

All I can tell you is that sibling rivalry has been going on for a long time. It was responsible for the first murder on record (when […]
