CONTINENTAL — Cal Evans scored 17 points, Holden Price added 14 points and the Lancers earned their first victory of the season, 58-41 at Continental on Saturday.

Bennett Kill contributed eight points and four rebounds in the win, while Chayse Overholt added three points. As a team, Lincolnview was 20-of-56 shooting, including 20-of-32 from two-point range, with 24 rebounds.

“I was pleased with our effort tonight,” Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said. “It’s always good to get a win. I thought that we battled on both ends of the floor. We are a team that likes to get up and press and I felt we were able to wear them down as the game went on. We were able to make some plays in the second half that helped extend our lead.”
