The Lincoln Academy girls basketball team lost a pair of games on Saturday, Nov. 22 at a preseason tournament held at Spruce Mountain High School in Jay. The Eagles lost to Gray New Gloucester 58-28 in their first scrimmage of the day and dropped their second 25-21 to host Spruce Mountain.
Both games featured tough opponents for Lincoln Academy. The GNG Patriots advanced to the Class A South championship game last season. The Phoenix beat Lincoln Academy in overtime 65-57 in a Class B South quarterfinal on Saturday, Feb. 15.
“Gray New Gloucester was one of the best teams in the state last year, so I knew that would be a challenge,” said head coach Cagney O’Brien. “The girls worked hard all weekend. We are a young team, so the tournament was a great way to see what we need to work on.”
