On Friday January 18, the Lincoln girls' basketball team defeated the number 1 ranked team in AA, Fairmont Senior.
After a close back and forth first quarter, the Cougars got a lead and held it until the fourth.
Fairmont then gained a 4-point lead which was shortly reminisced as multiple baskets by Madelyn Martin, Brynne Williams, and Victoria Sturm gave Lincoln the lead back.
The Lady Cougars took home the win that night, 55-47, and they couldn’t be more happy.
”It was a big win. We played good.” Said Katie Martin.
”It was really exciting, but we can’t settle now, we have to stay humble and work more,” said sophomore, Victoria Sturm.
With that win, the Cougars move to 10-1, while Fairmont Senior moved to 12-2.
Lincoln and Fairmont are now tied among the big 10 standings.
Lincoln will be back in action on January 23 as they travel to North Marion to take on the huskies at 7:30.
