International hasn't had much luck against Cambridge City Lincoln recently, but that could start to change on Friday. The Gryphons will square off against the Golden Eagles at 6:00 p.m. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
International can't be too happy about their upcoming road matchup considering what happened when they opened their season away from home on Wednesday. They fell 44-32 to Eminence. The Gryphons were down 35-15 at the end of the third quarter, which was just too much to recover from.
Despite the defeat, International saw an underclassman step up: freshman Caleb Aikins posted 12 points. The team also got some help courtesy of Josh Christie, who had eight points.
Meanwhile, after soaring to 71 points the game before, Cambridge City Lincoln was a bit more limited in their game last Wednesday. They came up short against Wes-Del, falling 51-30. The Golden Eagles haven't had much luck with the Warriors recently, as the team has come up short the last three times they've met.
International will have to keep a close watch on Dustin Lunsford and Ben Bates, a pair of players who had a big impact on Cambridge City Lincoln's prior game. Lunsford went 8-for-17 en route to 21 points, while Bates earned two points and eight rebounds.
International was taken down by Cambridge City Lincoln 57-11 when the teams last played back in December of 2024.
