LINCOLN -- The Lincoln boys basketball team continued its resurgence with a nail-biting 63-62 win over West Fork in 3A-1 league play Tuesday, Jan. 12 at Wolfpack Arena.
The Wolves dodged a bullet when Eli Howerton's 3-point attempt rimmed out with the clock running out on West Fork.
Daytin Davis exploded for 32 points for Lincoln to offset Wyett Kutz' 25 point-outing for the Tigers. Davis made four 3-pointers and 10-of-13 free throws for the Wolves. Lincoln point-guard Weston Massey chipped in 12 points for the Wolves while Kole Pennington also hit double figures with 11 for West Fork.
The lead see-sawed back-and-forth in the first half. Lincoln was up 10-9 after one quarter, but West Fork evened the score up at 26-26 at the half. The Tigers (5-4, 1-1) built a 43-35 lead after three quarters, but Lincoln (7-7, 2-1) stormed back by outscoring West Fork 27-18 in the fourth quarter.
