Lady Railers beat Chargers 78-11

 

[December 19, 2023] 

The Lady Railers defeated the Champaign Centennial Chargers on Monday night 78-11 in Champaign.

Lincoln was led in scoring by Kloe Froebe with 33 points.

Centennial is a young team that actually canceled their Varsity season last year so that was the first strike against them. And when up against the Uber-talented Lincoln Lady Railers, well that’s easily strike two. So with that being said, Lincoln shut out the Chargers 29-0 in the first quarter. Kloe Froebe poured in 21 points in the first quarter.

The Chargers scored early in the second quarter to make the score 29-2 but the Lady Railers continued to dominate and by the half Lincoln led 46-4.

In the third quarter the Lady Railer starters saw limited action, but before they exited the game they worked on their shooting from the outside. Jenna Bowman started the quarter with back-to-back threes, then Froebe and Becca Heitzig added threes. All of this scoring was done in the first one minute and ten seconds into the quarter. After Tori Geriets scored in the paint, the Lincoln lead was 60-4. With all of the starters on the bench by the 5:40 mark, the second string came in and practiced their long-range shooting too. Mesa McCloud hit one three and Lily Holmes hit two threes as Lincoln shut out the Chargers in the third quarter, gaining a 73-4 lead.

Grace Schneider, Mia Clark and Ceana Adams each scored in the fourth quarter for Lincoln. The Chargers actually outscored Lincoln 7-5 here and set the final score at 78-11.

Lincoln improves to 12-0 on the season.

The Lincoln JV team won 68-22 over Centennial.

Mia Clark led the team with 19 points.

Makinley Knapp tossed in 16 points.

The JV team improves to 10-0 on the season.
