<p>Lincoln-Way East hasn’t been in the habit of surprising people much over the years.</p><p>The Griffins have won consistently with a predictable mix of physical defense and a productive ground game.</p><p>Having Jonas Williams, who broke most of the state’s career passing records before leaving for USC after last season, tweaked the offensive formula a bit.</p><p>But the Griffins started this season ranked No. 18 in the area with a mostly new team and a new offensive coordinator in Lance Lokanc.</p><p>On Friday night, they pulled off the first big upset of the season by stunning No. 2 Brother Rice 22-21 in Frankfort.</p><p>Lincoln-Way East’s biggest play of the night was just as surprising: a 62-yard flea-flicker for a touchdown from Evan LeFevour to Logan Martinez with 9:30 left that cut its deficit to 21-19.</p><p>‘‘We put it in this week,’’ LeFevour said. ‘‘O-line protected it great. [I] just threw a good ball, [and Martinez] had a good catch.’’</p><p>Griffins coach Rob Zvonar acknowledged the novelty of his team pulling off a gadget play.</p><p>‘‘[Former longtime offensive coordinator] Joel Pallissard didn’t run a trick play in 30 years,’’ Zvonar said.</p><p>Lincoln-Way East’s defense then forced a three-and-out, and Tommy McCracken made a 33-yard field goal with 4:55 left for the Griffins’ first lead of the game at 22-21.</p><p>McCracken had missed a 30-yard field goal and an extra point earlier.</p><p>‘‘I was just hoping I’d get that next shot, and I did and made up for it,’’ McCracken said. ‘‘Did all I can do and just move on from the mistakes I made.’’</p><div class="Enhancement" data-align-center>
