Saturday afternoon the Lady Railers hosted the Lanphier Lions
at Roy S. Anderson and they put a running clock on the visitor’s
from Springfield. Lincoln dismantled the Lions defense and
demolished them on offense, winning big 71-26.
Makinley Knapp scored a season-high 22 points in three quarters of
action to lead Lincoln to the victory.
Piper Whiteman and Mia Clark hit double-figures with 13 and 11
points respectively.
The Lady Railers took a 20-11 lead in the first quarter with Knapp
accounting for ten of those points. Mesa McCloud connected for two
3s while Holmes and Whiteman each scored a bucket.
In the second quarter the Lady Railers led 34-20, with Whiteman
leading the way with a pair of 3s.
Lincoln put up a monster quarter in the third, dropping in 24 points
and extending the lead to 58-23. Mia Clark was hot, pouring in three
3s and tallying eleven points. Knapp continued to impress with nine
points. Again Holmes and Whiteman each dropped in a bucket to drive
the score higher.
Lanphier was consistent in the second half, scoring just three
points in each of the final two quarters. Ceana Adams outscored the
Lions alone by pouring in seven fourth quarter points. Burge scored
her three points in the final quarter and with Whiteman doing the
same, Lincoln’s 71-26 victory was a cakewalk.
The Lady Railers reached .500 with the win. Their overall record is
now 9-9 on the season. Lincoln is 5-2 in the Central State Eight
Conference.
In the JV game, Lincoln defeated Lanphier 53-24.
With Grey Gilbert hot from the tip-off, scoring eight points,
Lincoln took an 11-3 lead. Emma Hutchison drained a three in the
first quarter.
The Lincoln JV team had a terrific second quarter, scoring 19
points. The scoring was distributed among five players, with
Hutchison connecting for two more 3s and Eliahlyn Hinton dumping in
six points to lead the team to a 30-8 halftime lead.
