LATE SEASON VICTORY PROPELS KNIGHTS INTO TOURNAMENT

February 19- A thrilling, late-season victory over first place Christian Community has LCA hoping for big things in this year's conference tournament. The third-seeded Knights upset the top-ranked Colts 59-53 on February 8, making Lancaster a serious title contender. LCA enters this week's tournament with a record of 15-7, with a record of 10-2 in the league.

        The resurgence of sophomore guard Gabe Brewer has powered the Knights to success in the second half of the season, winning 8 of their last 10 games. Brewer, the leading scorer in Rutherford County in 2006-2007, has rebounded from a knee injury to pace the Knights' in scoring. Junior Caleb Ingram continues to lead the area in rebounding and has upped his scoring average to double digits per game. Nick Johnson, a senior, scored 27 points in the final regular season game of the year and may prove to be the third scorer LCA needs to make a run in the tournament.

        LCA opens tournament action this Thursday at Currey Ingram with a battle against Franklin Christian. FCA took the Knights to the wire in December, with LCA pulling out a six point win in overtime. A victory will pit LCA against Aaron Academy. Come out and support your Knights as they shoot for a conference championship!

Gabe Brewer leads LCA in scoring for the second year in a row.
