HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL : Lincoln Makes Quick Work of Granite Hills

It didn’t take long for Lincoln High to rebuild a program decimated by graduation after last season.

In its first game, the Hornets, whom Coach Ron Loneski says must win with speed because it has no height, screamed to a 101-55 victory over Granite Hills in a Norsemen-Warhawk opening-round game.

Barry Randle led Lincoln (1-0) with 25 points and 14 rebounds. Scott Hammond added 19 points and had eight steals for the Hornets.

Mark Kluge scored 15 points and Aaron Parcell scored 14 for Granite Hills (0-2).
