Sports Update
Tigers Handle Scots In First South Dallas Meeting
By Ari Talton
For the first time the Lady Tigers of Lincoln High School (9-1) hosted the Lady Scots of Highland Park High School on Tuesday evening.
After a tournament championship over the weekend, Lincoln Coach Carlesa Dixon and her team were excited to welcome the Scots to South Dallas.
“We played them in last year’s Coca-Cola tournament” says Coach Dixon. “But having them in the Tiger Den for the first time is special.”
The Tigers took an early lead and never relinquished it. A very fast-paced, high-energy first quarter ended with Lincoln up 20 – 8.
Lincoln sophomore point guard Kennedy Taylor was in true aggressive form against Highland Park. She managed to be the scoring and assist leader by the half.
“I knew this was their first time coming to our court,” says Taylor. “I still approached this game with the same mentality as any other game – we always want to win.”
On hand Tuesday night were many Lincoln Tiger alumni and community supporters. By crowd reaction, many were impressed with the ball-handling ability of Taylor and the rebounding poise of senior Jalah Walton.
“The skills at the point guard position are the best in the state of Texas,” says Tiger alumnus Dwayne Gray. “And she’s just a sophomore.”
Lincoln entered the half with a 40 – 17 lead. By the end of the third quarter Lincoln had a comfortable lead of 52 – 35, but Highland Park had gone on a bit of run that caused Dixon to make some adjustments. After only allowing 17 total points in the first half, Lincoln allowed Highland Park to score 18 points in the third quarter alone.
“We can never become complacent,” explains Dixon. “Fortunately we held them to only nine points in the final quarter – but we must learn how to play four complete quarters.”
Lincoln finished the game with a final score of 62 – 44. Taylor was the night’s leading scorer with 27 points. (Dallas Weekly News)

During a recent match-up between Lincoln and S.O.C, the Tigers’ turnovers and second chance points put them in a situation that was hard to come out of.
Demarcus Randle and Kortrijk Miles had a night with Randle’s 18 points and Miles’s 13 (31 combined) but it wasn’t enough to pull off the victory.
“Everything we do, we do as a team.” “We beat ourselves tonight with the amount of turnovers and we need to stop pointing the finger at one another and play better next game.” Said Adrian Baker.
The Tigers are heading back to Sprague Fieldhouse at 8:00 to take on the Kimball Knights.
