LINCOLN WINS STATE CHAMPIONSHIP

The Lincoln Cardinals, appearing in their first OHSLA Championship Game, defeated the OES Aardvarks by the score of 6 to 5.

The game, played on Saturday, May 31, at West Linn High School, in what is becoming a trademark for recent OHSLA Championship games, was extremely close and competitive. It was Lincoln's high scoring, All-American laden attack vs. OES's All-American goaltender, with some extremely effective defense thrown in by both teams.

Lincoln shot out to a quick and surprising 2-0 lead in the first quarter, and it appeared that they were going to take the game over offensively. OES came back in the second quarter and appeared to get their confidence back as the game became more evenly matched.

In the second half, the play was back and forth, but the Fourth Quarter showed Lincoln up by 2 goals, 4-2. OES then exploded with 3 straight goals, and they appeared to have the game within reach. But with 51 seconds left in the game, and OES still up by one, Lincoln took advantage of a missed clear by OES and tied the game. While the standing room crowd was still buzzing from the tying goal, Lincoln scored again to cement the game. When the buzzer sounded, the Lincoln fans rushed the field to celebrate their first OHSLA State Championship.

This was a great game played by two great teams. The OHSLA would like to congratulate both teams for a game well played.
