The Lincoln County Lady Pats won the 45th District Championship tonight, in Stanford, 72-57. The Lady Pats maintained a double figure lead most of the night, leading by as many as 21 at one point in time.
The win improves the Lady Pats' record to 23-6, and puts the team in the top half of the 12th region tournament bracket, assuring them a first round game against a loser from another district. The draw for the 12th region tournament is Saturday. WPBK FM (102.9) will air live coverage of the pairings. The 12th region girls tournament will be at the Lincoln County gym.
Three LadyPats were selected to the 45th District All-Tournament team. They were sophomore Jessica Upchurch, sophomore Nikki Bustle, and senior Savannah Lane.
Don Story has led the Lady Pats to the 12 region tournament all three years as head coach. The last time the region was held in Stanford, three years ago, was Story's first year. The team was eliminated by Rockcastle County that year.
The LadyPats will be one of the favorites to win the championship, on their home court, and advance to Diddle Arena for a Sweet Sixteen appearance. Everyone get out and support the girls next week. The tournament will start next Monday, March 3.
We'll post game times as soon as they are available.

They are going to get beat in the first round.
dont be so negative these girls work hard every day and on any night anyone can beat anybody no matter what has happened in prior meetings.
The girls will play Wayne County Monday night at 6pm. The girls region tournament is being held at the Lincoln County gym.
It looks like Kings Mtn Man has missed another one. The Lady Pats pulled out a hard fought victory tonight over Wayne County 50-40. Great job Lady Pats and Coach Story.
