The double header planned, between the Lincoln County Patirots and the Boyle County Rebels, for Friday night in Danville has been cancelled due to the ice storm.
There will be a boys/girls double header tomorrow night in Stanford. The boys will play Somerset at 6:00, then the Lady Pats will play Somerset at 7:30 (this game was scheduled for Monday night, but got moved up to Saturday night).
Stay warm...

Congrats 6th Graders
The Lincoln County 6th grade basketball squad had an amazing run in the State 6th Grade Boys Basketball Tournament last weekend in Lexington.
The boys made it all the way to the final four before losing to South Laurel. This is only the second time in history that an LC boys middle school team has made it to the final four. The future is bright for Lincoln County basketball.
Congratulations boys, way to represent the county.

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

More On the BAD Night
Here are a few key points from the article:
*Least amount of points since a game back in 06.
*Shot 25% from the floor, missed a lot of uncontested shots.
*Garrard wanted this game more, and it showed. It is very interesting to read some of the quotes in the article. About how they view LC as their biggest rival, and how they were so fired up for the game.
The key to a bad loss like this is how you respond. Let's hope this was the wake up call the team needed to show they have to go hard every night.

Garrard wins National Championship
Garrard County beat Lincoln tonight 56-37 to bring home their first national championship. At least I think it was the national championship, because they were fired up like it was the biggest game of their lives. Seriously, it was a terrible performance all around and Garrard played with intensity to take Lincoln out of their game. We got beat on back door cuts all game and couldn't connect on the three ball. Lincoln should use this as motivation for the rest of the season. I look forward to the re-match in February back in Patriot Arena.
Although it has nothing to do with sports, David Hacker was ejected from the game and arrested. Just my opinion but the school board and the administration should ban him from any future sporting event. Good evening and good night.

Lady Pats Fall to E-twon 51-46
The Lincoln County Lady Pats lost a heart breaker to state title contender Elizabethtown in Stanford on Monday night. It marks the third time the Lady Pats have lost to a top ten school this season. It was a close game all night.
The Lady Pats need to find a way to score more easily. They hit 9 three's and only had 46 pts to show for it. That's not efficient offense. The defense was stellar, as usual. This is not a bad loss, but a team as good LC doesn't believe in moral victories. The Lady Pats will head back into 12th region play at Southwestern on Friday night. E-town used great free-throw shooting down the stretch to cement the victory, going 9-11 in the 4th quarter.
8th grader Emily Fox is a big time shooter. She came off the bench and drained two big treys in the 4th to keep LC in the game.
Upchurch-13
Brown-12
Bustle-6
Fox-6
Henderson-5
Coleman-1
Patterson-2
Smith-1
