The Jessamine County Sweep is Complete

Honestly, I am a little tired of the double headers. I like it when both teams have their night to be the main event.

Anyway, same as the last two. Boys played the first game and the girls played the second game. The opponent, East Jessamine.

The boys got off to a rough start, trailing a big part of the first half. Ethan Spurlin put the Pats up with less than a minute to go, when he converted on layup where he was fouled. Spurlin went to the line and made the free throw to put the Pats up by 2. LC then got a big stop and and another bucket by Spurlin to put them up by 8pts with 8 seconds to go.

East Jessamine inbounded the ball and quickly scored, and drew a foul on the shot, cutting the lead to 2 pts with three seconds to go. East missed the free throw and Ethan Spurlin grabbed rebound and got fouled. Spurlin missed the front end of a 1 and 1, but luckily there wasn't enough time left for East to get off a game winning shot.

The boys tried to give the game away. They missed the front end of two 1 and 1 situations, committed a foul on a shot (up by four pts) with less than ten minutes to go in the game. The good news is they escaped with the win against an undefeated regional foe, 55-53. This team has to get better in two key areas, rebounding and turnovers.

scoring rundown:

Ethan Spurlin-19
Skyler Gilbert-9
Colby Long-10
Dillon Allison-10
Trevor Edgington-5
Tre Owsley-2

LC- 4-1
East- 3-1

The LadyPats continued their winning ways, defeating East Jessamine in the second game of the double header, by a score of 42 to 32. Lincoln County has limited their last two opponents to a combined score of 57 pts. That's some great defense.

This is the third straight double header sweep for the school. The boys and girls are off to an amazing start.

LC dominates Jessimane County... LOL

Looking at some scores (McCreary only beating West Jess. by one) LC is the early favorite to win the 12th again, IMO. East is a very good team. LC played poorly and got the win, this team plays great defense.
