Lincoln-Way East 48, Lincoln-Way North 33: Taylor Johnson scored 10 of her game-high 17 points in the first quarter as the Griffins raced out in front of the Phoenix and never turned back Thursday in the title game at the Medieval Classic.
The Skinny: Taylor Johnson’s tenacious ball-pressure defense set the tone in the early going of Lincoln-Way East’s 48-33 girls basketball victory over district rival Lincoln-Way North. And her outside shooting provided the Griffins with a spark, too, in the championship game of the Medieval Classic on East’s home floor Thursday night in Frankfort. Johnson scored 10 of her game-high 17 points in the first quarter and sank a pair of 3-pointers as the Griffins raced to leads of 9-2 and 18-4. North had more turnovers (9) than shots in the first half (8) and was unable to play its drive-and-kick style of offense because of East’s defensive pressure.

Lincoln Way East 57, Lincoln Way West 29: In the second game of the Medieval Classic, the Griffins jumped out early and never looked back against the Warriors.
The Skinny: From the opening tip, it was all Lincoln-Way East on Tuesday night in pool play at the Medieval Classic. The Griffins jumped all over Lincoln-Way West in the first quarter, going up 18-2 with just over a minute left. The Griffins held West to just two free throws in the opening quarter and landed an early knockout punch, taking a 32-7 lead into halftime and cruised to a 57-29 win to stay perfect on the year. Patch’s MVP: Lincoln Way East's Caitlin McMahon (14 points) continued her stellar senior year, tying for top scorer in the game with teammate Taylor Johnson. McMahon was a terror on the boards, deftly working for post position and handling everything, and everybody, West threw at her. Key Stats: West didn't hit a shot from …
