 The Lynx started with an 87-78 win over
Parkland. They then made amends Sunday afternoon, after two losses to Rend Lake
earlier in the season, by thoroughly beating them and moving on
to the championship game Tuesday at 7 p.m. vs. ICC at Lincoln Christian
College.
Lynx coach Kirk Whiteman assessed the play of
his team in both games:
Lincoln 87, Parkland 78
"I was proud of how well we got the ball inside
today. While Bryce Davis picked up two early fouls and spent
14 minutes on the bench the first half, Don Gavin (14 points by half, 27
for game) and Chris Ware (11 points at half, 17 points for game) picked it
up on the inside. Our guards were able to make good decisions. Darius Adams had 20
points for the game, Cortez Augusta 12 points, Brandon
Farmer eight points, Steve Hines two points and Bryce Davis one
point."
Lincoln 87, Rend Lake 66
"We had a great defensive effort today. We
jumped to a 16-4 lead to start the game. Rend Lake beat us twice in
November and has some matchup problems for us. They have some big
guards, and Bryce, Darius and Brandon played great defense, but the
reason for our success was we rebounded very well. We also played
without Don Gavin, who hurt his ankle at the end of the Parkland
game.
"Bryce Davis stepped up well offensively, scoring 17 points. Darius Adams poured in 28 points and has played his best basketball
the last three games. Brandon Farmer had 12 points and set up our
offense late to rattle off four consecutive baskets for Chris Ware,
who ended with 16 points."
