Lincoln must stay focused as it piles up wins
Expectations are big for Lincoln this year. So big, in fact, that after it beat Brooklyn’s fourth ranked team in New Utrecht 26-6, most of the players walked off the field frustrated they didn’t score 40 or shut the Utes out.
Lincoln, along with Erasmus Hall, has pulled away from the pack. It’s really those two teams and everybody else in the Public School Athletic League in Brooklyn. Those two teams will likely be undefeated when they face each other on Oct. 18, and it will be unlikely that either team finishes with more than one loss all season.
The problem is its just that kind of thinking that could lead to a false sense of security, and ultimately a sloppy loss. Which is why Lincoln must try hard to keep its focus week to week.
