Retro 70s night at Cardinal Coliseum Sunday, February 10, 2008

Friday night was Retro 70s night for the Cardinals as they took on the Franklin Quakers. The team donned vintage 1970s uniforms they dug out of the closet for the occasion, and Coach Peeler found a tacky tweed jacket and salmon shirt at Goodwill.

I think the girls, who are used to the baggy styles and long shorts of today's uniforms, were a bit uncomfortable in the old-school kit, but they had fun with it.

Not surprisingly, they beat the Quakers 66-23. Alexis Gleason had 16 and Makenzie Blythe added another 14 for the Cardinals.

The surprise star of the night, though, was Mackenzie Lamson. She netted seven points and at least one steal in about seven minutes of "Lamson time" in the fourth quarter.

With the win, Lincoln improved their league record to 9-0 (16-5 overall). They can clinch the PIL(6A) title with a win Tuesday over Grant.
