2017-18 Lincoln County Boys Basketball Capsule

Head coach: Sean FitzSimons, first season

2016-17 record: 6-17 (4-12 2A Southern, seventh)

Returning lettermen (starters): Four (two)

Top players: F Benson Wadsworth (Sr.), G Elijah Harr (Sr.), G Kobe Walker (Jr.), F Noah Smith (Jr.)

Outlook: After a successful five-year run as head coach at Virgin Valley, FitzSimons returns home to the Lynx and hopes to turn around a program that has had a rough past two seasons.

Four letter winners are back to help the Lynx try to contend in a highly-competitive league.

“I am ultra-excited to coach this group of young men,” FitzSimons said. “We have a decent returning nucleus that should help with team chemistry.

“We face an uphill challenge in a very-competitive league. Hopefully, we look to put the pieces together in order to compete for a playoff spot come February.
