     The Lady Bears (4-5) played their worst game of the season, according to West Lincoln coach Lane Young. “Crystal Springs scored most of their points off turnovers. Our guards did a poor job of handling the ball all night. It was the worst we’ve played in all phases of the game.”

Center Sam Bivens had 14 points and Darrius Clark 10.

     “We played really well in the second and third quarters and I liked our effort the whole game,” said Coach Young. “We need to shoot the ball better because we are missing some easy and wide-open shots.
