Although the Lions will not be playing in the CCS playoffs, they will play the Big Bone game against San Jose High, as is the Thanksgiving tradition. This will be the 76th consceutive game between the two schools. Coach Collins says “its a tradition we’re not going to break.” Here are what some of the players have to say about that.

Number 23 Gabe Florez said “Obviously everyone wants to compete for a ring, but Coach Collins leading us to a league title and saying no to CCS is fine with me. Growing up and watching big bone, it was always my my dream to play in front of everyone. I’m fully behind him on this.”

Number 9 Brent Grantham said “I really wanted to do what was better for us as a team and I feel like CCS was that. It would have shown off our talent more than Big Bone, and given us a challenge.”

Number 16 Alejandro Martinez- Loera said “Big Bone is a tradition that’s been here form many years and that’s what Lincoln is all about- tradition. Although hosting a CCS game here would be nice, Big Bone is a tradition that can’t be broken.”

Number 28 Isaac Juarez said “Honestly I’m not disappointed with his decision although it would be a good experience to play in CCS, … I’m fine with the whatever as long as I get to play with my teammates.”
