The Raiders host the Patriots of Lincoln County Tuesday night in a matchup that could be a dandy or a blowout.

 

The Raiders hoist a 14-5 record, including 9-1 in the region, the only team with one loss or less. Lincoln is 11-6 and 6-2 in the region.

 

McCreary Central averages 66.5 points per game while only giving up 54.6 per game in their 19 games. However, McCreary averages 72.1 in region games, while only giving up 50.6 - basically winning region games by 22 per.

 

Lincoln County averages 58.5 points per game while giving up 53.7 per. Likewise, Lincoln is averaging 61.2 in region play, while giving up 50.2 - averaging almost 12 point wins in each contest.

 

Should be a dandy. McCreary had won two straight before Lincoln snapped the streak in the regular season last year. The Raiders returned the favor in the semi's of the region tournament.

Raiders 61-Lincoln 49

McCreary by 12-15

McCreary Central 61-52.

McCreary should handle the Pats at home. I'm thinking 10-15 range...

 

Hope I'm wrong.
