 [December 22, 2021] The
Lincoln Railers improved to 9-0 on the season with a 33-27 win at
Chatham Glenwood on Tuesday night.
The Railers shut the Titans out in the first quarter, leading 9-0 with
Aidan Gowin and Jake Bivin providing the offense.
Bivin scored the only basket of the second quarter for Lincoln and with
the Titans scoring just a couple field goals, the Lincoln lead was 11-4
at the half.
The Titans would finally come alive in the third quarter and make it a
ballgame, outscoring the Railers 16-15. Elijah Pollice led the Lincoln
offense in the third quarter with eight points. The Titans pulled to
within three points, 23-20 the score, with just under a minute left in
the third quarter. A corner three from Camden Nelson just ahead of the
buzzer gave the Railers a wee bit of breathing room with a 26-20 lead.
The Railers padded their lead at the 5:38 mark in the fourth quarter as
Payton Cook exploded to the basket for a layup, 28-20 now the score. A
three from Parker Detmers closed the gap to 28-23 with four minutes left
in the game. But Lincoln’s super sophomore, Aidan Gowin, continues to
impress with his quickness and patience on the court. Gowin’s two
baskets would put the Railers in front 32-25 late in the game. With the
Railers taking care of the ball and controlling the game late, they
marched away with a 33-27 win over the Titans.
Aidan Gowin led Lincoln with nine points.
Lincoln’s next game is Monday, December 27, 2021 in the Collinsville
Prairie Farms Holiday Classic. The Railers will play Alton at 2:30 p.m.
The Railers JV team suffered their first loss of the season as Chatham
