Final on Sr night at Highlands.

 

Nice work Birds get some more momentum going for Didtricts.

Highlands threw a shut out the first quarter and went up 17-0. Lloyd battled back to make it a game. Early in the last quarter, with Highlands only up 4, they pulled the ball out. Lloyd decided to wait it out and not come out of the zone. Interesting strategy by LLoyd with 2 players sitting on 4 fouls. It almost worked. Highlands closed it out on the line. Congrats to the 6 seniors on the team. Greene, Buten, Houliston, Brockett, Hergott, Sheperd!
