Has the county grown since 1988-1995? If not, I don't see how the county size is relevant to the lack of interest in the program.

IMO Lincoln Co Basketball has done everything they can to convince everyone in the school that LCHS is a basketball school. 🙄 It's not.

You want to get more interest in football in Lincoln? Get a new basketball coach.

Talent level and the addition of the middle school are also issues that have been a cause. Prior to 95 all of the the community schools that Lincoln still has were all k-8. All of those schools had 7/8 football teams right in their back yard. You had Hustonville, Stanford, Kings Mountain, Highland, Crab Orchard, etc all with their own 7/8th team along w 1/2, 3/4, 5/6. Along comes ONE middle school and ONE middle school program in a county that spread out? Numbers took a hit. Soccer also came along in the mid 90s.

Even before the mid 80s Lincoln had a very solid program.

The school and program have been around some 40+ years now. The first 20? K-8 schools and each had their own program (Broughtontown paired up w Crab Orchard, Waynesburg and Kings Mountain were one and the others had their own).

You don’t have to believe me on that, ask around for yourself to those within the county.

However. The part about a new basketball coach probably isn’t far off either.
