2013 Lexington Baseball Schedule

The baseball team's season starts with scrimmages in February.

Lexington High School released its 23-game 2013 baseball schedule this week. The Wildcats will compete in two of the nation’s top tournaments in March, the International Paper Classic in Georgetown, S.C. and the National High School Invitational held at the USA Baseball Training Complex in Cary, N.C.Β 

β€œThis will be one of the most challenging schedules I have put together, but I believe that is how you prepare your teams for the playoffs,” said Brian Hucks, who enters his second season as head coach of the Wildcats. β€œOur region is the toughest in South Carolina as proof by three teams advancing to the lower state championship bracket last year.” 

The Wildcats finished with a 27-4 record last season including a 10-0 mark in Region V play. Lexington won the District V title before losing to eventual state champion Ashley Ridge in the Lower State championship game.Β
