Another dream came true for a member of the Lexington High School Lady Tigers softball team last Tuesday, May 3, 2022. This time the lifelong dream of Cadey McDaniel was the one that became a reality. Cadey was surrounded by her family and friends, coaches, and teammates, as she signed her Letter of Intent to continue her athletic career at the collegiate level.

She has created so many special memories as the team has spent so much time with each other. She did say that a very special moment to her was from her freshman year when the team was playing South Side in the Sara Beth Whitehead Tournament. The Lady Tigers were in the championship game against South Side, and if you know anything about LHS Lady Tigers softball, this is a big rivalry between the two schools.
