Halftime 

Highlands 47

E'town 26

Highlands has broken the tournament record for 3 pointers which was held by Trinity.

Have a safe trip back down the parkway, E-town...

Highlands with nine first half 3s. Simply the best shooting team in the state and just 16 minutes away from being the best team in the state, period.

E-town has had too much quickness/speed for every team they have played in the tournament and I don’t see that changing tonight. A missed shot attempt is a layup on the other end of the court in the blink of an eye. Whether Highlands can slow them down is the question because no one else has, including powerful Ballard.

 Also the 3s that Highlands is so good at will not go uncontested tonight. Now, with that said Vinson is very capable of taking over the game and winning it for the Bluebirds. He is one of the most impressive high school talents I’ve seen at the tournament. But I think the Panthers win by around 5. 

Well, it’s halftime and Highland is up by 21. I’m officially turning in my high school basketball prediction card. ?

 

E'town has not created the havoc tonight that they thrived on all season. Only two turnovers for Highlands. 

FINISH!!!!!!!!!!!

GO BIRDS!

Highlands is both winning the “out of gas” game and keeping their shooting hot.

Whoa. 

Herald had the hot hand for Highlands in the first half. If it's not VInson, it's Muller. If it's not Muller, it's Herald. If it's not Herald, it's Barth. And if it's not Barth... then it's almost certainly back to Vinson.
