Lincoln beats undefeated Clinton, gives O’Connor his 100th win
As Lincoln head coach Shawn O’Connor picked up his 100th career win as coach, he wasn’t thinking back to his glory days of winning the 2011 or 2013 city title or the four All-Americans he coached.
Instead, O’Connor immediately thought of the lean years. Those years when the Lincoln Railsplitters struggled to win two games, when the field was covered in rocks, when he didn’t have a field at all and his team had to practice on the softball fields or at nearby Grady High School.
