As fall comes to a close, Lincoln High School’s winter sports have begun. Lincoln has an abundance of sports, ranging from well-known ones, such as the basketball programs, to the less well-known, like bowling and flag football. All of them are extremely well run, and going to watch a game, meet, or match is a great way to support the athletes and have a blast!
Many teams have home games at Lincoln High School’s gym, and any and all supporters are welcome. Tickets range in price from $5 to $8 (depending on the sport), and there are concessions, cheerleaders, and school spirit all around. Here’s a run-down of all of the winter sports at Lincoln this year, and how you can go and support them.

Athletes compete in a range of swimming events, including medleys and relays, and there is a diving team that competes as well.
