Carrying two losses on the season, the Lincoln Railers football team had some proving to do on Friday night. As the Railers went into play against Taylorville on the Tornadoes home field they stirred up some fire that put them early into the lead.

The Railers played well and improved their game, but the Tornadoes claimed the victory.
While an exciting game, it was the Tornadoes win by two ending 19 - 17.

Scoring touch down runs for Lincoln were Alex Bogdanic and Dreyden Pozsgai.

Bogdanic had a 31 yard field goal and was 2 for 2 on extra points.

Austin Prater had an intercept and Jayden Pollice had a fumble recovery.

Following the tough loss Head Football Coach Matt Silkowski said he was, "Extremely happy with the way the kids played Couldn't be happier with them. We keep getting better," adding, "Looking forward to homecoming next weekend. Hopefully the offense will continue into next week and that will result in a Railers win."

Lincoln falls to 0-3 on the season.

For the next two weeks the Railers will play on their home field. Friday night Lincoln hosts Charleston and on Sept. 27 it will be Collinsville at Handlin Field.
