MONTGOMERY - In an intense matchup that saw the Lincoln Alices come close to pulling off a major upset the team ultimately fell short against the highly ranked Clay City squad Satuday
The Alices had their sights set on taking down Class A No 8 Clay City and for a significant portion of the game it seemed like they might just achieve that goal
However as the third period got underway the shots that had been falling for Lincoln earlier in the game suddenly stopped and the team was unable to recover from the slump
Despite the setback the Alices showed flashes of brilliance that suggest they have the potential to compete with the best teams in the state
As they look to bounce back from this tough loss Lincoln will need to regroup and find a way to maintain their momentum over the course of an entire game rather than just in stretches
With several key players stepping up to make big plays the Alices have a solid foundation to build on and will be looking to use this experience as a learning opportunity to come back stronger in their next outing
