As usual, there is a double header tonight in Stanford. This is a little different, the girls play first and the boys play second. It is the second district game of the year for both squads.
The girls need to keep displaying their dominance within the 45th district, and start the season 2-0. As do the boys, however it may be a little more difficult for them.
Garrard County has started the season 11-3. There is some chatter in Lancaster that they are the team to beat this year, in the 45th District. I beg to differ! You got to beat the champ to be the champ, and Garrard has lost 7 straight against the Pats. This is a big game, it is very important to defend home court in this very competitive 12th region. Garrard recently beat Danville, at Danville. Lincoln lost to Danville in a holiday tournament, and then blew them out last Tuesday. Lincoln blew West Jess. back to Nicholasville, and West Jess. beat Garrard. So who knows, just lace 'em up and get the W.

Pats Dominate Admirals
The boys more than avenged their lost to Danville Tuesday night in Stanford, whipping Danville 70-49 and improving their record to 7-5
The Pats lost by 1pt on a buzzer beater last time the two hooked up in a non-district game in Lexington. This time around was a different story, the Pats defended home court and set the tone for 45th district play. LC was led in scoring by Ethan Spurlin, who poured in 36 pts and grabbed a TON of rebounds.
The LadyPats took care of business too, defeating the LadyAdmirals 56-37.
This was a great way to start district play for both squads. The LadyPats are now 11-3. The two teams play again Friday night against Garrard County. The Golden Lions (boys) are off to an 11-3 start against questionable competition. Nevertheless, it is important to win ALL district games.
The LadyLions... well what's it matter. The LadyPats will not lose a game in the district this year.

The Real Season Starts
OK folks, the real high school basketball season is upon us. Life in the seemingly ultra competitive 45th district starts tomorrow night in Stanford for the Patriots. Well, at least competitive for the boys. I think the girls will quite easily win the district. The boys, on the other hand, are gonna have their hands full.
LC (boys) lost to Danville over Christmas break on a buzzer beater. That same Danville squad lost their district opener, last Saturday, to Garrard County. So yeah, it's going to be a tough year. Lincoln, Boyle, Danville and Garrard are all capable of winning the district, and maybe even the region.
The boys and girls need your help, everyone get out to the gym and support these teams as they start district play.

LC seemed to of lost their edge when their leader Kendra Brown picked up her 4th foul midway through the 3rd quarter. It is evident that she is the key to their success. She is a rare high school talent, and they have to keep her on the court to compete with upper echelon schools like Stonewall. Lincoln trailed 30-29 entering the 4th quarter.

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 Holds Off West Jessimane
The Lincoln County boys picked up their second win of the weekend, defeating West Jessimane 66-49 in Stanford on Saturday night.
The Pats were led in scoring by senior Ethan Spurlin. Spurlin followed up his 35pt effort in Rockcastle with a 25 point game against West. Senior guard Trevor Edgington was also in double figures with 11.
It was a four point game heading into the fourth quarter. LC dialed up the defense and knocked down four big three pointers. Two by Edginton and junior guard Colby Long added two more. The win puts LC at 2-1 after the first week of the season. LC's next game will be Tuesday night against another regional foe, the Wayne County Cardinals.
