High School Beat: Lincoln weathering the storm as PSAL playoffs resume
In the midst of trying to defend their PSAL football championship, the Lincoln Railsplitters have been dealing with the aftereffects of Superstorm Sandy, as well as their playoff opponents.
But according to Lincoln coach Shawn O’Connor, the Railsplitters are coping with the havoc caused by the biggest storm to hit the tri-state area in over half a century by focusing on the task at hand: delivering a second straight Bowl Championship Division title to the Coney Island school.
“We’ve responded well by playing the game,” O’Connor told the Eagle on Thursday morning, five days after watching his team dismantle Campus Magnet, 44-14, in the opening round of the playoffs at the team’s new home away from home, the Lafayette Educational Complex in Bensonhurst.
