Pats Drop Home Opener, 61-49

The Russell County Lakers played spoiler for the second year in a row to the Lincoln County Patriots. Last year the Pats ventured to Russell County and lost. This year, they hosted the Lakers and lost again.

The Pats got off to a great start, and led 17-9 at the end of the first quarter. Foul trouble and good shooting by the Lakers allowed them to take control of the game in the second and third quarters. They eventually built a 17 point lead before LC decided to make a comeback.

LC cut the lead to six with a minute to go, but it was too little too late. The Lakers held on to win by a final score of 61-49.

Scoring:

Zack Hill-17pts
Matt Cooper-14pts
