STLCC – 69
LLCC – 60
The Lincoln Land men’s basketball team traveled to St. Louis to play the Archers of St. Louis Community College, but dropped the contest 69-60.
Lincoln Land started as the more dominate team after staring off on a 5-0 run and held the lead for the first 10 minuets of the game. Unfortunately, STLCC took the lead and never gave it back. The Loggers originally were able to keep pace until over a 5 minuet stretch, when the Archers put together an 11-0 run and a 16-2 run to close the final 7 minuets of the half. Although, LLCC seemed to be in the game originally, the Loggers found themselves trailing 40-22.
The two teams traded baskets out of the half and the Archers were able to lead by a high of 23 points until Lincoln Land, again became the stronger team. Jermale Young was a spark plug off the bench knocking in back to back three pointers, helping fuel a 15-0 Logger run. The Loggers never were able to get closer than a 8 point deficit. St. Louis had answers for each LLCC buckets and kept the Loggers at bay. The final buzzer put the Archers on top 69-60.
For the second game in a row, sophomore Camren Kincaid dropped a game high in points, with 22, while also having 5 boards and 5 assists. Axel Laby added 12 and Jermale Young got to double digits with 11.
Lincoln Land drops their second in a row to start the season and look ahead to next Tuesday, to get back at it, this time traveling to Illinois Valley Community College on Tuesday evening.
