Huron led 14-8 after the first quarter and 29-14 at the half.

Lincoln Coach Johnny Epps said it was a tough game.

"We had eight straight turnovers in the second half and I think they scored on all of them," Epps commented. "Their pressure didn't get to us in the first half but it did in the second half."

Crystal Washington had 12 points and Ciara Turnage and Danielle Jenkins each had seven points.

The locals fall to 1-14 overall and 0-9 in the Southeast Conference.

Today they play Bedford at home and already this week they battled Chelsea and Saline on the road.

After losing the first two games of the week Calvary Christian finished on a high note on Friday night. The Cougars defeated Baptist Park at home 38-33.

"We held them to only four points in the third quarter, Calvary Coach Steve Thurmond said. "It was the best third quarter we have played of the entire year."

Jamie Thurmond had a game high 12 points (seven points in the second half) and Rachel Roe was big scoring the last six points of the game including two clutch free throws.

"She (Rachel) was big in the fourth quarter," he said. "She really stepped in."

Thurmond was pleased with the win because they had lost to Baptist Park by 24 points the first time.

"The win was good for us and I think the girls realize they can have fun and play hard."

Earlier in the week the locals fell to Washtenaw Christian by four points and lost to Novi Franklin Road by 22 points.

Calvary is 5-11 overall and 3-3 in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference's Red division. Tomorrow they host Westland Huron Valley Lutheran and earlier in the week they battled Macomb Christian.

In a rematch of an earlier battle the Calvary Christian Cougars defeated Baptist Park 54-51 at home on Friday night.

Calvary trailed 8-6 after the first quarter and 25-17 at the half. In the second half they exploded for 37 points and held the Wildcats to just 26 points.

Jon Wiedmann had 16 points for Calvary and Levi Moore chimed in with 10 points. Brandon Periord had eight points.

Calvary improves to 7-5 overall and 4-2 in the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference's Red division.
