Lincoln County held on down the stretch to defeat Whitley County 58-55 to capture a hard earned victory.  Whitley County got off to a slow start falling behind 17-8 at the end of the first quarter.  Whitley County suffered a blow when 6-0 Jr. Kandace Craig left the game with an injury in the first quarter that was later diagnosed as a broken hand which is thought to sideline her for 4-6 weeks.  Whitley County valiantly fought back but could not overtake the Lady Patriots for the win.
