I kept waiting for their legs to go out. You could tell that sustaining energy was hard for them but they never went away and they never gave up.

It was another typical Boyle County/Lincoln County matchup. Lincoln County started off hot and then Boyle County took over in the second quarter. I believe that once Boyle County took the lead in the second quarter they never trailed again. After that the game stayed at about a 4-6 point lead for Boyle County most of the game. Boyle’s largest lead was 10 points on two separate occasions including late in the 4th quarter. Chase Phillips and Jaxon Smith both hit big shots late in the 4th to close the gap to 53-51 Boyle County. After a Jaxon Smith 3 pointer to make it 53-51, Boyle County didn’t inbound the ball and time ran out. I’m thinking Coach Jackson wanted his players to foul someone and stop the clock but that may have been a moment where fatigue set in and they didn’t think to foul as Lincoln County was out of timeouts.

 

I’d love to see another Boyle County/Lincoln County game. If it happens it will be in the district championship game.

One thing is for sure.....there is no quit in Lincoln.

 

I thought the same thing. After a multi OT road game on Tuesday, I figured Lincoln would peter out in the fourth. No Sir, those kids battled to the end. I am thankful we did not have to inbound the last few seconds. All the momentum was in Lincoln's favor and no telling what would have happened.

 

Just win Baby!! Nice win Rebels.

Who ya with!

I can see why this statement looks accurate, but I'm not convinced. These district games have been quite tight this year. Boyle is definitely #1. Throw the other 3 in the hat.

Lincoln is so young. Gonna be pretty good next two or three.

And all three are capable of defeating Boyle. County.

All 3 have deficiencies. Boyle is a seasoned/well-rounded team that sits down and guards in critical moments. I'll be interested to see how both games go tonight. Always a fun time!
