Lady Pats Escape With a Victory

The Lincoln County Lady Patriots traveled to Laurel County to play the dangerous North Laurel Lady Jaguars Monday night, and came away with a BIG victory, 41-37.

It was a closely contested game for four quarters. LC got in early foul trouble and had trouble finding points in the first half. They trailed for most of the game (led briefly in the first quarter), until finally gaining a 31-30 lead with around 6 minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The Lady Pats used stifling defense in the fourth quarter, holding the Lady Jags scoreless until the 2:14 mark of the quarter. By this team LC had built a 37-30 lead, that would prove to be too much for North Laurel. The win runs LC's record to 16-4 (undefeated in the 12th region).

This is a great defensive team, and defense wins championships.

Here is a look at the scoring:

Brown-6
Upchurch-18
Bustle-2
Henderson-13
Patterson-2
