Lincoln Park boys basketball team makes unwanted history in state title game
Lincoln Park became the third team from the WPIAL to lose two straight PIAA championship games since 1920, with its 68-49 defeat to Constitution High School Friday in the Class A finale.
The Leopards committed 29 turnovers, which their opponent turned into 26 points.
It was just too much to overcome.
Constitution’s pressure defense slowed down Lincoln Park and helped it build a 14-point lead early in the third quarter.
To a player, the Leopards said Constitution’s quickness and their penchant for turning the ball over during the game led to their undoing.
