Lincolnview celebrated Winter Homecoming Night by snapping a three game losing streak with a 59-34 victory over Ada on Friday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The win boosted the team\u2019s overall record to 10-8 (5-2 NWC), while Ada fell to 3-15 (2-4 NWC). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After a 12-8 first quarter, the Lancers closed the second period with a 10-2 run. Alek Bowersock scored twice, Zane Miller and Jorge Salinas added buckets and Ethan Kemler had a tip-in at the buzzer for a 26-11 halftime advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t come out and make shots early but our defense was pretty good,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said of the first half. \u201cWe did a great job in the first half holding them to 11 points and I\u2019m very pleased with our effort.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe got some easy looks in the second quarter and they started to fall for us and I think that just gave us confidence the rest of the way,\u201d Hammons added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers also excelled in terms of rebounding, holding a 36-20 advantage, including 14 offensive rebounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat was one of the reasons we had a 15 point lead at halftime was second chance opportunities,\u201d Hammons explained. \u201cWe didn\u2019t shoot it great but when you get second and third chance opportunities it kind of balances itself out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven in the second half we did a great job of contesting their shots and it was one shot and done for them. We came down and were able to do what we needed to do.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kemler scored Lincolnview\u2019s first two baskets of the third quarter and Logan Williams added one for a 30-13 lead, then Alek Bowersock and Salinas each scored to increase the advantage to 34-15 and when the quarter ended, the Lancers enjoyed a 43-19 advantage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The Bulldogs were able to pull to within 20, 43-23, early in the fourth quarter but could draw no closer, as Miller answered with a triple and a basket and Lincolnview led by as many as 30 in the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miller led the Lancers with 14 points and six rebounds and Kemler and Bowersock each scored 10. Jorge Salinas finished with six points, a team high four assists and two offensive rebounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s been getting better for us,\u201d Hammons said of Salinas. \u201cHe\u2019s one of our best defenders and he\u2019s usually guarding the opposing team\u2019s best player. He scored a little more for us tonight, which we needed because teams were sitting off him and worrying about other guys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a team, Lincolnview was 25 of 51 from the floor and was 5 of 7 from the foul line. Ada was 15 of 43 (35 percent) shooting and just 2 of 9 from the free throw line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brandon Hull led Ada with 14 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Sunday\u2019s Division IV tournament draw, the Lancers will host Antwerp on Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s going to be interesting,\u201d Hammons said of the tournament draw. \u201cObviously Crestview\u2019s going to be up there then you have a group of teams two through five where who knows how they\u2019re going to get seeded and then there\u2019s a group of six, seven and eight that are good as well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
