SAN JOSE — A week ago Lincoln got its first Central Coast Section playoff win. The Lions made it two wins in as many outings Friday, utilizing a 35-point second half to break away for a 49-14 win over Willow Glen.

Now they have a chance to not only win a third CCS playoff game, but to also capture the school’s first CCS football title. Lincoln (9-3), the third seed, will play No. 1 seed Branham for the Division IV championship.

“That would be nice,” Lincoln coach Kevin Collins said. “I want to coach these guys as long as I can. It’s a special group. We love each other.”

The score was 14-14 at halftime, but the second half was all Lincoln.

Lincoln, using a full house T-formation with two tight ends, amassed 345 yards on the ground on 38 carries.

“We just wore them down,” Collins said.
