First-Place ’Splitters Fall to Jefferson Following Win Over B&G
Only three short days after their biggest win of the season, the Brooklyn AA Division-leading Railsplitters of Lincoln High School suffered what coach Dwayne “Tiny” Morton referred to as “the worst loss” he’s ever had.
That’s saying something for a Public School Athletic League coaching icon with seven city championships and a pair of state championships during his tenure at the Ocean Parkway school.
In fact, it’s hard to fathom that Tuesday’s stunning 82-77 home loss to Jefferson was worse than the 62-55 defeat the Railsplitters endured in last year’s PSAL title game to arch rival Boys and Girls at Madison Square Garden.
