The second half saw Lincoln Land play every player in a game that got sloppy at times.  The Loggers built a quick lead off of three consecutive 3 point baskets to start the half.  The quick three's and a transition basket allowed Lincoln Land to take a 41 point lead.  The Black Hawk Braves would not go away though, and slowly chipped away at the Logger lead.  With the Lincoln Land starters on the bench the Loggers were outscored 23-11 in the fourth quarter.   Despite the quarter, Lincoln Land held on for a 89-72 win to move them to 18-1 on the season.  "We did some great things in the open court tonight, especially on defense."
