Lincoln beats Tottenville to win its second city title in three years
Lincoln needed a fourth-quarter safety and a last-second defensive stand to hold off Tottenville, 28-27, on Tuesday night at a frigid Yankee Stadium for its second Public School Athletic League title in three years.
Brooklyn’s Railsplitters jumped out to a 20-0 lead, but adversity struck early when quarterback Javon “Spanky” Moore twisted his ankle on the very first play of the game.
The senior signal-caller tried to fight through the injury, and for a while he was able to, but he began to slow down in the second quarter and Lincoln’s momentum disappeared.
