It may have taken overtime to finish the job, but Lincoln ultimately got the result it was hoping for last week. They were able to grind out a solid win over Windsor, winning 19-12. Junior Bo Kroenke and junior Nate Hesse were among the main playmakers for Lincoln as the former passed for 172 yards and 2 touchdowns and the latter caught passes for 106 yards and 2 touchdowns. In fact, with 15 tackles Hesse was a force on both sides of the ball.
