The Lincoln Middle School Lions roared to a double victory by clinching the Alameda Education Foundation’s (AEF) Girls Basketball championships in Division I and II.

Capping an undefeated season, the Lincoln DI team faced off against the Wood Middle School Beavers on Jan. 24th to secure the championship by a score of 42 to 19. The prior week, Wood had narrowly defeated the Academy of Alameda to earn a chance to face the Lions. In the DII division, it was the Academy of Alameda who gave Lincoln a run for their money on Jan. 17th, with Lincoln coming out on top 25 - 13.

AEF's Middle School Sports program is designed to provide students with the benefits of participating in organized sports to support their physical and socio-emotional development. The AEF program includes Fall Coed Volleyball, Winter Girls and Boys Basketball, and Spring Track & Field.

The foundation took over running Middle School Sports for the school district in 2009. Approximately 650 6th - 8th graders across the island benefit from the program over the course of a school year.
