The Lincoln School Board has voted to raise the minimum age to attend Lincoln's free pre-school from three to four years old. Montana is one of nine states without state funded pre-school programs. However, the 2018-19 school years saw the introduction of Lincoln's first free pre-school program, thanks to grant funding that made the program possible. Originally, the program accepted three and four-year-olds, but the minimum age will rise to four in the 2019-20 school year....

The Lincoln Lynx basketball teams ended their seasons at the Western C District Tournament in Frenchtown last week. The Lincoln girls started off strong with a Valentine's Day 45-29 win over the Victor Lady Pirates. The decisive win set them up to face off against the District 13 C top seed, the Seeley Swan Blackhawks Feb. 15. The Lincoln girls proved to be a tough team to beat, despite a commanding 25 - 11 lead by Seeley at the half. The Lady Lynx flipped the script on the...

Like youngsters who are all arms and legs but fall down a lot, the tall timbers of the Clark Fork Mountain Cats, who as a team posted an average height of 6-feet, 1-inch, will grow into their size some day but it wasn’t today. The halftime score was 10 - 2 which almost had the local fans rooting for Clark Fork to make another basket before the mid-point buzzer. The final tally, 23 - 6 was a big victory for the Lynx. Ryan Greenwood, who never played basketball until this winter, was the high scoring man with 12 points, f...
Lincoln High School Junior Nathan Brown surpassed the 1300-point mark for his high school career during the Lynx win against the Clark Fork Mountain Cats Saturday. Brown sank the 23 points against the Mountain Cats that pushed him over the 1300 point mark, and his performance Friday saw him rack up 32 points against Victor, which accounted for half the Lynx points scored in the home-game loss. Brown's father, Lincoln High Basketball Coach Shane Brown, said there's a pretty...
For a little high school like Lincoln, playing a combine of two separate high schools can be intimidating, but the Lynx brought their courageous A-game to the floor on Saturday night against the Mountain Cats of Superior/Alberton (called"Clark Fork"). The Lynx were ahead at the half, 25 - 18. Their lead slowly grew in the second half even though Kade Creech fouled out in the fourth period after scoring six points. The Mountain Cats had more height, but less senior experience...
The varsity men of the hometown Lincoln Lynx have been riding a roller coaster of up and down games on the basketball court this winter. After the raucous home games of last week, the MOA sent up some of their best refs to bring law and order back to Blackfoot Valley athletics Friday, Jan. 26. Instant whistles for infractions and two quick technical fouls on each team for unsportsmanlike conduct in the first minute of the game told everyone that these officials were in charge...
Six foot post player, junior Alexis Cannon is getting used to having opposing players hanging all over her as she goes up to the hoop but she still managed to sink six baskets and four free throws to be the high scoring leader with 16 points and 17 rebounds. Senior leader Maggie Jorgensen (four points and five steals) fouled out in the third period and was only hitting 13 percent of her shots through the swarming defense of the Lady Pirates. Seniors Carly Templeton had seven...
Senior star Maggie Jorgensen sank the first bucket against the White Sulphur Springs lady Hornets Friday, and that was as close as the Hornets ever got to catching the wily, confident Lady Lynx. The totals at the half were 17 - 4 and the only question still in the air was how long Coach Ken Lumpkin would leave his starters in, even as they got in foul trouble early. "I left them in on purpose," Lumpkin said. "I'm teaching them a slide foot method of defense instead of always...
Coach Shane Smith had his junior high ladies in top form to face down the Lady Rams from Helena Christian School in a fast paced competitive contest Saturday afternoon, Jan. 12. The Lincoln squad managed to stay at least one basket ahead of the opponents until half time. Running out of the locker room for the third period, the eyes of the Jr Hi Lynx blazed with renewed determination as they slowly but inevitably widened the gap. The final buzzer put the 23 - 16 win in the...
On Friday afternoon, Jan. 11, the Lincoln Lady Lynx faced the St. Regis ladies in a non-conference duel at home. The Tigers, on a 6-4 winning streak, have cut a wide swath in the last few years whenever they came to the Blackfoot Valley. Their two senior aces, 5- foot, 8-inch Madison Kelly and Emma Hill at 5-foot , 9-inches, are well known to the local fans as the perennial high scoring nemeses of the Lynx. On this day, portions of the Lady Lynx bench were reserved for the...
The Lincoln faithful have been waiting and waiting for a basketball game in their own gym. The Lynx varsity season, which began for the Lincoln men in Frenchtown Nov. 30, has been on the road for six weeks. But, if excitement is what the doctor ordered for a dreary winter day, the home game Friday, Jan. 11 filled the bill, in a match that was part basketball and part demolition derby. Fireworks electrified the crowd from the first whistle. The stands were packed and the Lynx c...
The retirement of Lincoln Schools Superintendent/Principal Carla Anderson at the end of this school year could mean a change in the structure of the school's administration. Anderson, who has served four years in the combined role of Superintendent and Principal, submitted her retirement announcement to the School Board in December, citing health reasons. Although the Board expected Anderson to seek a renewal of her contract, which expires in June of 2019, her intention to...
Times change, and kids grow up, but for twenty-six years George Pierce, recognizable in his trademark daily ties, has remained a fixture at Lincoln Schools. When Pierce hired on as the school's only science teacher in 1993, it was his first teaching job. A native of Illinois, Pierce first visited Montana as a child, and decided then that he would someday make the Big Sky State his home. "I came through Montana when I was eight years old, and I knew I was coming back as soon...
