The Lincoln County Patriots sent their seniors out with a huge victory over the Hopkinsville Tigers 29-21 Friday night in Death Valley. Congrats to seniors: Noah Keeton, Levi Rogers, Devon Denson, Boone Walls, Josh Foister, Nathan Bustle, Kris Long, Cody Reed, and Dustin Brummett. This is not only a great group of football players, but a great group of guys. I know most of them personally, and their attitude is what has won football games for them this year. Ryan Young may be one of the best all around athletes that I have ever seen. Nathan Bustle is an inspiration to us all, and we should never forget to remind him of that.
On to the game...
Even if Hopkinsville is down for their standards, this is a big win for Lincoln. Anytime you can beat a school with that much talent, you've done something. Ryan Young caught two TD's from Levi Rogers and also had a pick-six for his third score of the game. Trey Edwards scored the other Lincoln TD on a 3-yard run in the third quarter. Another huge suprise to the Patriot offense was a Micheal Wright field goal, I think the first of the season. We have to have a solid kicking game if we plan to go anywhere in the playoffs. The defense played great once again with some big hits being thrown around all over the field. Young, Rogers, Denson, Brummett, Reed, Conatser, Gilbert, and Walls all had big games. I think that our Black Shirt defense can play with anybody.
Another observation was Coach Jaggers in attendance with his '93 Lincoln County jacket on, scouting to see how bad we're going to wax his Scottie-Hogs next week. Good luck Marty, your season will be over soon enough.
Please feel free to comment and add anything about the game. GO LINCOLN!!!!

Great job by the Patriots last night. The D-line really controlled the line of scrimmage which I thought was the difference in the game. BTW, I heard that the jacket that Marty wore wasn't even his. I heard he paid somebody 5 bucks to wear it when he got to the game. If the Pats stay focused this week during practice, we'll beat Mercer by three touchdowns.
I thought the difference in the game was that #24; the win was certainly a team effort but Ryan played excellent!
Lincoln played great on both sides of the ball. need to improve on our kickoffs, but great to see us make some extra points and a field goal. Ryan Young was HUGE! The ability to stop the run and force any team to be one dimensional on offense is the sign of a great defense. for an observation, saw one Merger person there with a H-burg jersey on. Way to support your "team"
I saw Jaggers with the jacket on also!! It looked like a size small and it it obvious that he needs a 4XL or better!! Wonder how the Merger fans feel about their head coach supporting the Pats??
lincoln is once again on for gridiron blitz game of week, vote at www.wtvq.com, sports then click on gridiron blitz, and remember to vote every hour, we certainly want this game shown as the patriots kick some butts, and one more time we will "remember the titans" !!!!
