LINCOLN-WAY TOURNAMENT

The annual Lincoln-Way Tournament gets underway on Thursday night in two locations (LWE & LWN) with eight teams playing one opening round game each followed by separate consolation and semifinal round games. Thursday night's results will setup Saturday's championship round which will be played exclusively at Lincoln-Way East. Lincoln-Way Central beat the hosts 7-5 in last year's title game, but the wide-open field that also includes Andrew, Lockport, LWE, LWN, LWW, R-B and Richards will all have their sights set on winning the 2016 edition of the event.
