Linton-Stockton's 11 Three-Pointers Propel 79-63 Class 2A Win Over Eastern Greene

Linton-Stockton turned the sectional opener into a perimeter clinic, burying 11 three-pointers on its way to a 79-63 victory over Eastern Greene. The long-range barrage supplied 33 of the Miners' points, roughly 42 percent of their total, and set the tone early in the Class 2A North Knox sectional opener on March 3, 2026.

The Miners' accuracy from beyond the arc produced a decisive halftime advantage that Eastern Greene could not erase. Linton-Stockton’s long-range stroke forced Eastern Greene to guard the perimeter and opened space for easier looks inside, a sequence that pushed Linton well ahead before the break and kept Eastern Greene on its heels through the third quarter.

Eastern Greene finished with 63 points but never found an effective counter to the Miners' three-point heat. The 16-point final margin reflected how Linton-Stockton’s shooting nights translated directly into separation on the scoreboard; every made triple amplified the gap and limited Eastern Greene’s opportunities to mount a comeback in the latter stages.

From a numbers perspective, the 11 made triples were the game’s defining statistic. Those 33 points off three-pointers formed a plurality of Linton-Stockton’s offense in a game where the Miners totaled 79 points, turning perimeter efficiency into a path to victory in a postseason setting where single-game swings decide who advances.

With the 79-63 win in the Class 2A North Knox sectional opener, Linton-Stockton advances out of the first round carrying clear proof of concept: when the Miners' outside shots are falling, they are a difficult matchup in sectional play. That long-range confidence will be the key storyline as Linton-Stockton moves forward in the sectional bracket.
