Lincoln Land, Parkland Tangle for National Championship

We've talked before about two teams having to go right past a convenient location to play for a championship.

Never like this, though.

Lincoln Land and Parkland are playing each other for the National Junior College Athletic Association Division II championship tonight...in Phoenix, Arizona.

Both the Lady Loggers and Lady Cobras won their semifinal contests Friday to advance to the championship tilt at 6:30pm. Lincoln Land beat Glendale Friday night 26-24, 25-19, 25-19 while Parkland won against Des Moines Area 25-15, 25-15, 26-24.

Stew-Stras grad Kendall Knop is a member of the Lincoln Land squad.
