LEXINGTON HORSEMEN REMAIN ON ROAD AT SIOUX CITY ON SATURDAYLEXINGTON, Ky. Coming off a 56-31 win at Evansville last week, the first-place Lexington Horsemen stay on the road when they travel to Sioux City, Iowa, to face the Sioux City Bandits on Saturday. Kick-off in the Tyson Events Center is scheduled for 8:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be carried live on 101.5 FM The Planet and WVLK 590 AM with Gary Ball and Randy Wilson. The Horsemen (5-3) moved into a tie with Rock River for first place in the United Indoor Football Eastern Conference with last Saturday's win against the Evansville BlueCats. Quarterback Kewan Dewberry completed 17-of-27 passes for 161 yards with four touchdowns and running back Rayshawn Askew scored three times to lead Lexington to the victory. "We're in a situation right now where we control our own destiny," Horsemen head coach Mike Zuckerman said. "I look at the records of everybody and we're all right there in a big bunch. We still hold everything in our hands, and as long as that happens, anything can happen. We have to come out this week against Sioux City and keep playing strong and consistently." Lexington's Dewberry is the league's leader in quarterback efficiency with a rating of 119.3. He is tied for the UIF lead in passing touchdowns and has thrown for 1,338 yards this season. Askew is tied for third in the league in scoring, averaging 12.0 ppg, and has tallied 16 touchdowns, also third in the UIF this year. Wide receiver Harry Lewis is second in the league in receiving yards per game with 76.9 to go with nine touchdown catches. Sioux City, which has not played a home game since May 5, is 2-6 on the season and has dropped three of its last four contests. The Bandits are 1-0 this season against members of the UIF Eastern Conference, having defeated Evansville 28-26 on April 21 in Evansville, Ind. Sioux City is the league's worst team in terms of scoring offense, averaging 28.4 ppg, but the Bandits lead the UIF in pass defense, which could pose problems for Lexington's Dewberry. Lexington holds a 2-0 advantage in the all-time series with Sioux City, having won both meetings with the Bandits last season.
