The visiting Red Devils (17-4) jumped out to a 25-14 first quarter lead, forcing the Lancers to play catch up the rest of the night. Collin Overholt scored six points in the quarter, but Arlington\u2019s Jaret Vermillion, Caden Lafferty, Ty Webb and Bryce Gast each scored five points in the opening period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t show up and that was the situation both games this weekend,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said. \u201cWe gave up 24 points to Ada last (Friday) night and again tonight. We weren\u2019t ready to go and you can put that on me. We just have to learn how to get stops, but give credit to Arlington, they made some good shots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a shot making game and when you go 1-17 from three and struggle to make a shot from outside 15 feet it\u2019s going to be tough to win basketball games,\u201d Hammons continued. \u201cWe\u2019re 11-60 in our last three games shooting deep so we have to continue to get better and keep working hard and it\u2019s something we have to learn from.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Arlington stretched the lead to as many as 11 in the second quarter, but a pair of foul shots by Daegan Hatfield, a layup by Landon Price and a basket by Aaron Cavinder closed the gap to five, 38-33, at halftime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lancers trimmed it to two, 51-49, late in the third quarter, but a bucket by Lafferty and a basket and foul shot by Zavier Thornton gave Arlington a 56-49 lead entering the final quarter. Thornton finished with 15 points, while Gast tallied 11. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessee scored eight points in the fourth quarter, including Lincolnview\u2019s only trey of the game to pull the Lancers to within three, 63-60, with 4:40 left. However, Vermillion, who finished with 23 points, immediately answered with a triple of his own and the Red Devils scored 10 unanswered points to lead 73-63 with 1:10 left. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Jessee\u2019s 28 points, Overholt finished with 15 and Jake Bowersock chipped in with eight. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe (Jessee) attacked and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve been trying to get him to do and I thought he did a good job of taking the ball to the basket,\u201d Hammons explained. \u201cI thought Collin did a job of taking the ball to the hoop, Jake did a good job inside and I thought a lot of guys proved they can attack the hoop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview (10-11) will end the regular season at Paulding on Friday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey\u2019re not the biggest in size but they\u2019re quick and they spread you out and they can make shots and that\u2019s something we need to be ready for,\u201d Hammons said of the Panthers. \u201cYou have to take pride in your 101 defense and we have to be ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
