PROCTORVILLE – It was tune-up time.

With three key league games awaiting, the Fairland Lady Dragons whipped the Coal Grove Lady Hornets 63-28 Thursday in an Ohio Valley Conference game.

Fairland, 9-5 and 3-2 in the OVC, trails Rock Hill and Chesapeake by one game. The Lady Dragons remaining league games are at South Point, then at home against Rock Hill and Chesapeake.

"We played pretty well. We’re getting in a stretch where we’re playing at home, and we’ve got a lot of big games so that should help," Speed said.
