INSTITUTE - LincolnCounty got plenty of restFriday night, but the early 8a.m. tipoff at the newWalker Convocation Centeron the campus of WestVirginia State Universityalmost proved disaterous.

After sleepwalking formost of the first half, thePanthers finally woke uplong enough to post theirthird win of the season inthe 16th edition of theFellowship of ChristianAthletes Hoops Classic,defeating Liberty(Harrison) 60-51.

"Playing at 8 a.m.proved to be tough for ourkids to get in any flowoffensively," LCHS headboys coach RodneyPlumley said after thegame. "We pressured fullcourt the entire game and attimes it was effective, but italso gave them (Liberty)opportunites to get a feweasy baskets and get kids

involved that usually don'tproduce a whole lot."

The full court pressresulted in Lincoln County(3-1) having four playersreach double-figure scoringled by Schylar Kelley'sgame-high 15 points. Sixthman Jacob Hudson came offthe bench and netted 12points while JacobKirkendoll and Jake Ashleyadded 11 points each.

After trailing 15-11 atthe end of the first quarter,the Panthers surged out to a30-27 edge at halftime andnever trailed the rest of theway, maintaining their lead.

"We felt it was an oppor-tunity to work on our fullcourt presses because at

some point it's going to bethe difference in pulling outa win in which we're trailinglate in a game," Plumleyreplied.

Liberty (Harrison) (0-3)was led by Thomas Surockand Nicholas Cain who tal-lied 12 points each for theMountaineers.

Lincoln County travelsto Ashland, KY to playRose Hill Christian Tuesdaynight and will travel toEllenboro, WV for theRitchie County HolidayTournament December 29thand 30th. The Panthers willbe looking for a three-peatafter winning the tourneychampionship the last twoseasons.
