\u201cIt was obviously a good day for both teams; to win both races on our home course in front of our fans and student body was exciting,\u201d said Lincolnview Coach Matt Langdon. \u201cWe did some good things on the course, but still have to some work to do if we are to reach our end-of-season goals.\u201d<\/p>\n

Langdon said the next two weeks are key to how Lincolnview\u2019s season ends.<\/p>\n

\u201cHopefully, these wins will motivate the kids to continue to work hard and to re-focus on some of our goals that we set for the end of the season,\u201d Coach Langdon added. \u201cThere were a lot of smiles today and that is always a good thing.\u201d<\/p>\n
