braham Lincoln High
School rules the
PSAL City Football
league at 1st place. After an
undefeated season with 8
consecutive wins, Lincoln
outplayed Midwood at their
first playoff game beating
them 56-30. Midwood was
10th in the league. A wide
point spread is nothing new
for Lincoln this season.
They’ve won every game
with a comfortable lead of at
least 14 points.
A
Head
Coach,
Shawn
O’Connor
began
his
coaching career directly after
graduating Lafayette High
School in 1987. A year later,
he started as an assistant coach
at Lafayette College where
he stayed until 1996. He has
been coaching at Lincoln
since 1999. After a rough
few seasons, O’Connor has
really turned things around at
Lincoln. Since 2010, Lincoln
has won 43 games and only
lost 4, including one perfect
season and championship.

Under O’Connor, Lincoln has
become the most dominating
force in the league.
Seniors, Malik Andrews
and Carlos Stewart have
led Lincoln in receiving.
Andrews has received for 730
yards and 8 touchdowns. He
received for 130 yards and 2
touchdowns against Erasmus
Hall. Stewart recorded 530
yards and 6 touchdowns. Luis
Rodriquez and star running
back, Antoine Holloman Jr.
have als o received for at least
170 yards each.
Seasoned
quarterback,
Javan More has passed for
almost 1,700 yards this
year. The senior has thrown
20 touchdown passes and
averages 167 yards per game.
More is a great runner as
well. If he sees open grass,
he will run. The quarter back
has rushed for close to 400
yards. With a controlling
offensive line, More has
had the protection needed to
make passes to his arsenal of
receivers.
