lincoln is the best in the 12th........they r tied for 14th in the state so the little RAIDERS better pull up the pants

The final was actually 64-59 I believe.

great game friday......lets go pats

Boyle County was also playing without Junior Ethan Spurlin who was averaging 19.7 pts, 8.2 rebounds who has mono and will be out 2-4 weeks. These 2 meet again in 2 weeks @ Lincoln County.

Lincoln was up by as many as 40 in this one. Maybe the most complete game LC has put together so far.

The game was at West Jessamine.

Lincoln shot 30% for the game and had only 6 assists. Keeton and Spurlin had 14 and Young had 18. Lincoln really needs to work on their half court offense, alot of standing around watching people go one on one.

Where did the Florence kid come from. I don't remember him from last year.

Congrats to the Pats. Lincoln opened the season with a solid win against Russell Co. as Young, Keeton, Gilbert and Owsley were not available for this game due to football season still going. Ethan Spurlin paced Lincoln with 37 points and double figure rebounds. If Lincoln will share the basketball and play hard nosed defense, they should be competing for a repeat 12th region crown.

Highlands may be too much for Lincoln, from a talent and numbers standpoint. But, I guarantee Lincoln will not quit. Lincoln only plays around 18 players both ways, so I think that keeping players healthy during the game will be a big key. All but 1 of these players played for Lincoln in Middle School with the only transplant being Trey Owsley(Junior) who moved in as a Freshman from the Berea area. They are a close group who really work together and work for each other. This senior class has been successful in almost everything they have done at Lincoln County. Their freshman year the 3 main boys sports won 10 games total ( 2 football, 6 basketball and 2 baseball ). Their Junior year those 3 sports won 49 ( 10 football, 24 basketball and 15 baseball ), with the basketball team winning the region and the football team winning the regular season district championship. They have played big games against big teams for several years dating back to aau, middle school games, etc., so I do not think they will be intimidated by the environment. Not taking anything away from any other team, but Lincoln will hit you hard, as I am sure Highlands will. For Lincoln to pull the upset they would have to play an error free game and get some help from Highlands. It is not out of the realm of possibility that Lincoln County could beat Highlands this Friday night. Good luck to both teams and should be a great game Friday night.

I was just wantin to know what everyone thought about the 12th region this year. Cats Pause shows Wayne and Lincoln as front runners. Also who are the top 10 players of this region. Everyone says Cats Pause rankings were messed up for this region so who really are the top 10 players.

He didn't do much research on the players end, I think he just took names he had heard. John Cole is a great athlete, but in my opinion Bourne and Wallen are much better basketball players.

yeah, I agree, not very good. Especially the player rankings.

Rojas, South Laurel has come back to the pack a little this year, I would think they would be considered in the top 5 or 6 in the 12th but definitely not the favorite. I know South has been consistently competitive the past 10-15 years in the 12th, but South people act like they have had a 20 year run of Proffits and Hammonds. Those days were not exciting for everyone else who was trying to win with homegrown kids.

Are we talking about Jordan Adams from Scott County? And what kid from Henry Clay are we talking about?

Lexington Catholic is loaded with our without Sanford. If Scott County was not as loaded as they are then Catholic would probably be pencilled in as competing for a state championship. With Scott County in the 11th they are an underdog to get out of the region. Sanford will close the gap between Catholic and SC, but I still think it would be SC's to lose.

from l-r: Coach Jeff Harney, 20 Jeff Slavey Simon Kenton, 22 Nick Huber Perry Central Indiana, 32 Tyler Maynard Elliott County, 40 Taylor Botkin Lexington Catholic, 24 Alex Stivers Daviess County, 43 Connor Krall North Oldham, 21 Trevor Edgington Lincoln County, 23 Ryan Musselman North Miami Ohio, 25 Noah Keeton Lincoln County, 33 Phillip Biggs Meadowbrook Ohio, White Shirt Blaine Stull Montgomery County.

Anyone have the rosters for the 12th Region - 13th Region AllStar game on Sunday at North Laurel. I know that Ralston, Keeton and Young from Lincoln are playing, not sure of any others.

Anyone get the attendance tonight. If Lincoln's gym holds 5000, it had to be over that they were standing 4 deep on one end a couple deep on the other end.

I was thouroughly impressed with Hammonds tonight. I think their low scoring games are a reflection of the defense that they play. On the offensive end, if they had a little more help shooting wise for Fain, they would have won tonight. They did run several very good sets that got Fain shots during critical times. That is what coaching is all about.

Score tied 30-30 at half. Final 66-51

How in the world did Ronnie Bottoms not win it last year. I do not see the merit in improving a team from 6 wins to 16 wins as being a huge jump, not with the players that Lincoln had coming. I thought Bottoms by far did the best job winning with what he had, and the run they hit at the end of the year rivaled anyone in the state. I hope we do not see a replay of that this year but it is looking like Boyle is starting to roll at the right time.

Lincoln County will play Mason County Friday December 8 in the Kentucky Bank Shootout at Bourbon County. This is the first of many December games for Lincoln to prove whether they are ready to compete with the big boys. Lets here some predictions on the game.

This game was back and forth with Lincoln up by 7 at halftime and down 7 with roughly 2:00 left. Lincoln is still playing basically without Calhoun or Miller who have just not recovered from football. Young led Lincoln with 23, Ralston had 16 and Keeton had 14. When Miller and Calhoun get into the swing of things and if Lincoln will share the basketball they are going to be a tough team to beat.
