Tuesday: the Ladycats beat Rockwall three sets to two Monday, per MaxPreps, for a 35-7 record
Why it matters. Monday's match was the Ladycats' first since a 14-0 district run, and the burn-ban list is the one most residents check before burning brush. Aledo City Hall and Willow Park City Hall posted no new meeting records since Monday.
Mostly sunny, high near 82, with no active weather alerts for Aledo. Bearcat runners are back at the UIL regional cross country meet today. Red Ribbon Week is on the Aledo ISD calendar through Saturday.
