The Cole Camp Bluebirds are on a roll. They defeated Lincoln on the road on Monday night, 65-41. They have won four straight since the Kaysinger Conference Tournament where they were seeded first but only finished in fourth place.
Bluebirds coach Kevin Shearer said, "I think the conference tournament was a wake up call. We didn't have Matthew Bright the first time we played Lincoln (won, 43-32) and he was the hero of this game. He contained Ben Eckhoff and disrupted their offense."
It was 17-12 after one and 32-23 at the half.
Cole Camp went on a tear in the third, tripling the offense output of the Cardinals with an 18-6 margin to make it 50-29 at the end of three.
Lincoln coach Tyler Burke commented, "Reid Harrison hit three threes in the third quarter and their two All-Conference players (seniors Harrison and Gentry Dieckman) were just too much for us tonight. We are not playing very well."
Dieckman, in this his last game in Lincoln, had 11 points with two thunderous dunks.
"It was good to win since we havent been able to beat them lately," he said.
Lincoln fell to 7-15 and Cole Camp improved to 17-6.
LINCOLN (41): Eckhoff, 2; Sanders, 9; Parrott, 5; Everhart, 2; Cole, 4; Benham, 9; Harms, 4; Young, 6.
COLE CAMP (65): Dieckman, 11; Harrison, 21; Bohon, 2; Howard, 14; Bright, 8; Strathman, 7.
