The
Lincoln Railers began their 2000-2001 season Monday evening with a
victory over Limestone High School during the opening session of the
annual Lincoln Thanksgiving Tournament. Lincoln will play four more
games over this holiday weekend, against the following teams:
Pontiac, Danville, Rockford Guilford and Rockford Jefferson. Lincoln
High School has compiled an incredible 97-18 record the last four
seasons, highlighted by a trip to the Elite Eight during the 1998-99
season. What will this season have in store? Only time will tell,
but the LDN was able to sit down with varsity assistant coach Eric
Ewald on Monday afternoon and assess the state of Lincoln Railer
basketball.
