Jeff
Mayfield says
The
Lincoln Railers have advanced to the Class AA semifinals tonight
with a rousing win over a very athletic team from Washington, D.C.
This is a team that nobody else wanted to play, but, as always,
coach Alexander is ready to take on all comers. The win sets up a
match against what many publications call the No. 1 player in the
country: 6-foot-10, 310-pound Eddy Curry of South Holland-Thornwood.
The Railers will have to attack the boards and limit Thornwood to
one shot per possession if they hope to compete tonight. A large and
raucous crowd supporting Lincoln tonight at the Shirk Center could
well be the difference!!!
