FALL RIVER: The home games for the COVID-19 shortened Metro High School girls basketball regular season have come to an end for the Lockview High Dragons varsity girls basketball team.

On Thursday night, Lockview hosted Armbrae Academy for the team’s second last game of the year and final regular season game.

After a couple years of being amongst the leaders, the young Dragons squad had a tough year, coupled with many new faces and the COVID-19 pandemic limiting game play.

When The Laker News left the game after one quarter, the visiting Armbrae had a sizeable lead.

The team will look to build off this year’s experience into the coming season as they are only losing a couple players due to graduation.

Here is a look at some of the 236 game action photos we took:
