It took until nearly the end of the season, but Splitter National finally prevailed.

The school that dominated our football Game of the Week poll all season was quiet most of basketball season, before its Thursday matchup with Dexter took this week’s poll.

Lincoln at Dexter took more than half of the votes cast. The game beat our four others, including Huron’s visit to Skyline, which came in second place.

That means we’ll be out at Dexter Thursday with our full Game of the Week treatment, including a preview, multiple game stories, photos and a live chat.

If history is any indication, the matchup should be a good one: the first time these two teams matched up, Lincoln won on a Tyler Hinton buzzer-beater.

Our new poll, including girls district play matchups, opens this afternoon.
