Thick Fog Brings Back Memories For Lincoln Players

Published by admin on Thu, 07/30/2020 - 7:02am
On Wednesday morning last week, the fog was so thick that it limited visibility to some twenty five feet along the highway from Warsaw to Lincoln.
Lincoln Coach Brad Drehle liked the fact that it was cool and made it comfortable for the boys to practice at six A.M.
About ten yards visibility on the football field was all the players had to work with.

New Lincoln Head Football Coach Brad Dehle is known for his encouraging presence in the weight room. He believes in competitive conditioning and believes in wearing teams down in the fourth quarter as his players will be in better condition than their opponents.
