Final from the Farmer's National Bank Showcase at Mercer County.

 

Lincoln was without Timmy Taylor again who was serving game 2 of his 2 game suspension due to an ejection from the Wayne County game. South Oldham was lights out in this game so his loss mattered little. South Oldham was 13 of 29 from the three point line, shot 49% from the floor and outrebounded Lincoln 31-25.

 

South Oldham is coached by former Lincoln County coach, Steve Simpson.

When was he at Lincoln.

When was he at Lincoln.

 

Not sure. Read that info in the paper. Jeff Jackson has been the coach at Lincoln for a while now.

Curious, because I coached some Lincoln kids in AAU. Wondered if he was HC there then.

SOUTH OLDHAM (2-1) - Jonathan Blaire 9, Michael Griffin 14, Drew Greenwood 16, Kyle Young 12, Drew Horsey 10, Zack McWilliams 4, Grant Williams 1, Jacob Roy 5, Drew Bullock 2, Scott Moore 3, Trent Bouvet 2, Isaac Fields 2.

 

LINCOLN (2-3) - Neil Conley 9, Noah Young 9, Jacob Conway 22, Andrew Wilks 2, Wade Goode 1, Dalton Godbey 3, Preston Ledford 2, Kody Cornelius 5.

 

If South Oldham shoots the ball like that, they are going to beat most teams! Lincoln looked lost without their PG (Taylor). They also had another starter in Hoover that was ill and played sparingly (and didn't score). Conley was hard to handle early and led Lincoln with 22. He just didn't have a whole lot of help. Given how short handed Lincoln was, it's hard to read much into this result. However, given the way S Oldham shot the ball, not sure being full strength would have mattered yesterday...
