The Lincoln County High School boys basketball team has struggled to start the season, with just one win in 11 games, but the Lynx played their best basketball at home against White Pine on Tuesday, Jan. 6.

“It was a good game. We played the best that we have played yet,” confirmed LCHS head coach Kevin Smith.

A 19-point fourth quarter put a scare into the Bobcats, but it was too little, too late for the Lynx, who fell, 51-47. Junior Kavon Almaraz scored 10 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter, and sophomore Daxton Donohue scored five of his 11 points in the fourth. Classmate Layton Stevens added seven points in the loss. 

“We had more team chemistry. The best we’ve played together. The boys stepped up big time. I look forward to where we can get to as we continue to play together,” said Smith.

The Lynx will get a bit of a break before hosting CIVICA NV (4-11) at 6 p.m. on Monday, Jan. 12.
