\u201cI think at this point in the year you have every game circled,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Brett Hammons said. \u201cKalida is a great team and we knew we were going to have to play well to win tonight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt felt good to get this sectional championship,\u201d Hammons continued. \u201cSeeing the looks on the players faces was great. This is a goal they had and it was good to see them accomplish it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview, the No. 4 seed, got it done with defense by holding No. 5 seed Kalida to just 29 percent shooting (14-of-50), including just 3-of-21 from three point range. In addition, the Wildcats shot just four free throws and connected on one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By comparison, Lincolnview was 12-of-26 from the floor, which including 8-of-17 from beyond the arc, and the Lancers connected on 12-of-21 foul shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first quarter was to Kalida\u2019s liking, as the Wildcats led 12-9 at the end of the period. Lincolnview\u2019s points came on triples by Collin Overholt, Clayton Leeth and Creed Jessee. Brandon Miller and Luke Erhart accounted for all of Kalida\u2019s points in the quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI feel our defense was very good tonight,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cWe struggled to score in the first half and our defense kept us in it. We really made things hard and contested all of their shots.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jessee, Aaron Cavinder and Garrett Richardson each hit a trey in the second quarter to give Lincolnview an 18-17 halftime lead. All five of Kalida\u2019s points came from Brandon Miller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Back-to-back buckets by Jake Bowersock gave the Lancers a 22-17 lead in the third quarter, then a triple by Cavinder and a basket by Leeth expanded the lead to 27-17. Kalida scored the final four points of the period on buckets by Miller and Ayden Warnecke, but the Wildcats trailed 27-21.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lead grew to 34-21 as the Lancers seized control in the fourth quarter. Lincolnview went 11-of-13 from the foul line down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Cavinder led Lincolnview with 13 points while Jessee added 10 and Leeth nine. Jessee also pulled down seven rebounds. Miller led all scorers with 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAaron made some big shots for us from outside,\u201d Hammons said. \u201cWe did just enough on the offensive end to get the win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview will face Columbus Grove in the Division IV district semifinals at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at Elida. The Bulldogs defeated the Lancers 70-49 on January 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
