Loggers Fall to St. Louis CC at Home

Lincoln Land was unable to avenge an early season loss to the Archers of St. Louis Community College, this time falling 82-66 on Wednesday evening. 
St. Louis and the LLCC played earlier this season where STLCC was able to win by 15. Tonight's contest played out very differently but ended in similar results for the Loggers. On Wednesday's game, LLCC raced out to an early lead, and were up by as many as 6. St. Louis put together a quick scoring run and then never relinquished the lead once they grabbed it, leading from the 12:00 mark in the first half on. Once they held the advantage, the Archers continued to put more and more distance between themselves and the Loggers, closing the half up 13 at 44-31. 
The game looked over early in the second half when the Archers raced out to a 16 point lead. However, near the edge of getting blown out LLCC raced back to get within 7 at 51-44. The Loggers would get no closer than 7 as ST. Louis rattled off a 19-3 run and hardly looked back. Lincoln Land appeared to show one last glimmer of hope when they got their deficit back down to 10 and had possession of the ball, but an errant throw and three straight Archer baskets later and the game was back out of reach for the Loggers. St. Louis went 14-14 from the free throw line in the second half to help ice the game away to the eventual victory of 82-66. 
Unfortunately, for Lincoln Land the stats further proved the Archer dominance as STLCC out shot, rebounded, and assisted on the evening, while also committing one fewer turnover. The only stat that LLCC held the advantage was securing 5 more steals than St. Louis. 
Camren Kincaid continued to be on a scoring tear to start his college career, ending in double digits for his 8th time in 8 games with a game high 18 points. Cam has led the Loggers in scoring only twice this season, both times against St. Louis. Michael Ousely proved the only other Logger who could score more than 8, ending with 16 total. Although, lacking more than two Loggers in double figures, every Logger who played, scored, a first on the season. Stephan Douglas also had a solid game with 8 points and a team high 8 rebounds. 
Lincoln Land falls to 4-4 on the season. They remain home Saturday against Carl Sandburg a team they beat by 42 points, 91-49, just a week ago.
