Manitowoc Lincoln was a winner in its Boys Basketball Home opener last night.
The Ships were able to fend off a hot shooting Ashwaubenon quintet, 73-65 in a victory over the Jaguars at the JFK Fieldhouse.
Senior guard Brayden Kennedy took game-scoring honors with 26 points, including 5 three’s, but he also had 8 assists.
Brayden Steinbecker added 16 points and Brock Peterson contributed 11 to the win, Lincoln’s 4th win in 5 games this season.
Zack Kelly and Jayden Schoen each tallied 22 points for Ashwaubenon, which fell to 0 and 2 in conference, and 1 and 3 overall.
Next up for the Ships is a road game Friday night at top-ranked and undefeated De Pere.
