I do not want to intentionally leave out coverage of the girls basketball games, but I simply don't go to enough games. If anyone could post or give me updates it would be appreciated. The girls team and Coach Story are having another great year so we should promote them as much as possible. Savannah Lane might marry in to my family one day so I want to give her some pub.

Man LCs boys must foul a lot. McCreary shot 40 shots at the foul line.

McCreary shot 40 free throws and Lincoln shot 15. HOME COOKING. We played a sub-par game and they shot that many free throws and they barely beat us. I can't wait to see them again, we'll kill them.
