Two Pats Make All-Area Team

Two Lincoln County seniors made the Advocate Messenger All-Area team. Senior lineman Chase Marcum and Senior QB/HB/LB Trey Edwards made the team on defense as a linebacker.

Three more Pats made honorable mention. Those three were Skyler Gilbert, Ben Harris and Rob Conatser. Congratulations to all of these fine young men, and good luck in all you do.

Basketball Season is Near

I expect both teams to be very good. The middle school is already off to an amazing start, the middle school girls were awesome.

The girls will be one of the favorites in a very difficult 12th region. The two-time defending champs will be a contender too.

Everyone post their predictions and thoughts on the upcoming season. We will preview the region and upcoming season(s) more as the season approaches.

A Long Trip to End A Long Year

The 1-8 Lincoln County Patriots will make the longgggggg trip to Hopkinsville this Friday night to play the Hopkinsville Tigers.

Hopkinsville, led by Head Coach Dixie Jones, enters the contest with a 5-4 (1-2 District) record. The Tigers ventured to Lincoln County last year, the season finale for both teams, and lost. This is the only the second time the two schools have met.

This is a long trip, but get out and support the seniors one last time. Gas prices have went down, the weather has been unusually warm and you will get to see a new place. I doubt many have been to Hop-town. They have a very nice stadium and a lot of football tradition. It's a long drive but an easy one.

The only common opponent is Mercer County. Hopkinsville beat Mercer, in a very close contest, and Lincoln lost badly to Mercer County.

Good luck seniors.
