Bennington dropped a tough road contest on Friday night, falling at Lincoln 66-34. The loss dropped Bennington’s record to 3-4 overall, and an even 2-2 in district play. Lincoln is now 5-2 overall and 3-1 in district play.

Turnovers were a big reason for Bennington’s struggles Friday night, throwing three interceptions on the night, which would help to create a 24 point Lincoln lead heading into the fourth quarter, a hill just too steep to climb up.

Bennington will have one final regular season contest, looking to improve its playoff standing when they take on a solid Clifton-Clyde team next week. A win could potentially put Bennington as high as second in 8-MAN I District 5, while a loss won’t eliminate them from playoff contention, but would ensure the Bulldogs as the #4 seed out of the district.
