"Lincoln has a rich speech and theatre history," said head coach
Jennifer Keith. "We have the only state championship trophy in the
school and send kids to state nearly every year, but the entire
downstate region is in one sectional, and it's pretty cutthroat.
"It's difficult to make it to the next level," Keith continued. "It
will be a lot of work, but with despite them being a young team,
work is not something they are afraid of."
