The First Presbyterian Christian Academy Highlanders barely broke a sweat Tuesday, defeating the boys of Providence Christian Academy 102-23 at the St. James Sports Center.

The Highlanders were up 73-22 by the third quarter. FPCA allowed Providence to score only once from the line during the second half.
The Lady Highlanders had a good showing as well, winning 50-2.
