FALL RIVER: The Lockview High JV girls Lady Dragons are heading to provincials on a bit of a roll.
Despite a loss to Citadel High in the final of the local division, the Dragons, coached by Brian Rogers, have reeled of wins in successive matches, and with some time to recuperate they may have the extra energy required.
Last week, the Dragons played three tough games, including back-to-back with a semi-final Thursday and the final Friday.
That short turnaround did not give the team a lot of time to regain the energy and up beat tempo the team usually has.
