Lincoln's sophomore duo of Davion Shareef-Dulaney and Justus Holt led the charge with 22 and 23 points respectively, as the Tacoma-based team answered the Seattle basketball hype with a decisive victory. The win propels Lincoln directly into the 3A state tournament quarterfinals with a bye.
O'Dea, favored throughout the contest, struggled to find offensive rhythm against Lincoln's physical defensive approach. The Irish had only lost in-state to No. 1 Rainier Beach this season prior to the defeat.
