The Lady Raiders will travel to Burgin to open their season on Thursday evening and will play again on the road next Monday at Garrard County.

They will then host Russell County in their second and final scrimmage on Thursday, August 19 before starting the season on the 27th as they host Pineville in the first of what will be only four home games this season.
