The Railers traveled to Teutopolis Tuesday night and after a low scoring first half, Lincoln was able to run away with the game in the second half and hand the Wooden Shoes a 49-34 loss.

Adam Grunder started the game with a three against Teutopolis that was launched practically from Logan County. Dylan Singleton’s two baskets in the paint would be the only other offense for Lincoln in the first quarter. A 7-7 tie was the result after eight minutes of play.

Singleton put up the first six points for Lincoln in the second quarter and just like that he reached double-digits and the Lincoln lead was 13-9. Landon Hullinger’s two free throws put Lincoln on top 15-11 and that was the end of the second quarter scoring.

Eiljah Pollice and Brody Whiteman contributed to the offense in the third quarter. Whiteman in fact made a nice move to hit the fadaway jumper and then tried his hand at the hook shot. Both were successful and impressive against the Wooden Shoes defense. Hullinger’s threes in the third quarter allowed the Railers to take a 10-point lead at one point. Singleton’s perfect 4-for-4 third quarter performance from the free throw line was also key as the Railers really began to pull away from Teutopolis. A poor shooting performance from the Wooden Shoes sure didn’t help their cause in the third quarter, as they watched the game slip away. The polished Railers continued to impress as the quarter came to a close with Grunder throwing up the alley-oop pass to Hullinger and he finished it off for the jam. Lincoln was making a statement with a 33-21 lead.

Talking about making a statement, in the fourth quarter it was Whiteman tossing in eight points en route to another double-figure performance. Steals and layups wrote the rest of the fourth quarter story and as time expired the Railers had the victory in the books, 49-34 the final score.

Dylan Singleton led Lincoln with 20 points. Landon Hullinger and Brody Whiteman each scored 12 points for the Railers.

Lincoln improves to 7-2 overall and 5-2 in the Apollo Conference.

In the JV contest Teutopolis beat Lincoln 61 to 38. Jake Bivin and Payton Cook each led Lincoln with 10 points.

The Railers will host New Berlin tonight at Roy S. Anderson Gymnasium. The JV game will start at 6:00 p.m. The Varsity will start at 7:30 p.m.
