Another night, another game where a big lead almost slipped away from the potential victors.

Lincoln Park led 47-35 early in the second half, but the Washington Prexies stormed back to take a 67-63 lead midway through the fourth. But the Leopards were not to be denied, ending the game on a 13-6 run and winning the PIAA 2nd Round match at Peters Township, 76-73.

Nelly Cummings led the way for the Leopards with 21 points, including the bucket that gave Lincoln Park the lead back after being down. His timeliness and scoring prowess give him CCBC Player of The Game honors, along with Markel Pulliam, who scored 17 for the Little Prexies.

Washington ends its season at 20-8. Lincoln Park plays Quaker Valley in the PIAA Quarterfinals on Saturday.
