Saturday night’s game at the 2019 Prairie Farms Holiday Classic at Collinsville High School was a nail-biter for Railer fans. The game featured a matchup between the undefeated Mustangs of Mundelein High School and the undefeated Railsplitters of Lincoln Community High School. 

 

After seeing the Railers trail 20-15 at the end of the first quarter and eventually falling behind 32-22 at the half, fans were on the edge of their seats as Lincoln battled back to a 38-34 third quarter deficit. The Railers tied the score 42-42 at the end of regulation to send the game into overtime. Senior Kaden Froebe was the one who tied the game with .2 seconds remaining as he sank the first of two free throws. In the four minute overtime the Mustangs went off for 19 points, 10-of-13 which were scored from the free throw line. Lincoln managed to score threes from Will Ewald and Froebe in overtime, along with two free throws from Landon Hullinger. 

 

The Railers suffer their first defeat of the season, a hard fought 61-50 loss to Mundelein.  

 

Kaden Froebe led Lincoln with 19 points. Kameron Whiteman tossed in 12 points and Dylan Singleton connected for 11 points. 

 

The Mustangs out-rebounded the Railers 29-19.
