Last LHS Football Game of the regular season on Friday- v. Wilson

Lincoln ends the regular season for 2010 on Friday, November 12, 2010 at home, JV at 4pm, Varsity at 7pm. Up until last week v. Marshall, the Tigers' varsity team was undefeated and Lincoln will be looking for a win to make that the only loss of the season.

For those not familiar with the relationship between Wilson High and Lincoln Hig, Wilson has long been the principal rival for as long as I can remember. Wilson is the closest LAUSD high school to Lincoln other than Bravo Magnet School that has no team, but with so many transfers and blurring of district lines, I think there's not as much intensity of loyalty to each of these schools as there was back in the 60's. And back in the 60's, Wilson was on Eastern Avenue, now occupied by El Sereno Middle School as the new high school on the hill was completed.

You can check with any assorted groups and people from that time and with more contemporary sources and compare times based on your own experience to see is this is an accurate assessment of school spirit. In any even, this should be a good game to end the regular season.

Remember to support the LHS Alumni Association by buying food at the concession stand at the Visitor's side of the field, reasonably priced and good quality, too.
