Highlanders played 5 games in eight days, win 4 of 5
Placeholder Image
With a grueling schedule in their 2-AA GISA region, the First Presbyterian Men's varsity Highlanders played one home and four away games in the last eight days. Not to be left behind the Lady Highlander and junior varsity men, along with their first C-Team (middle school) played and traveled for some hoops action.
Continuing in their quest for victory, the Highlanders were scheduled for yet another game yesterday before getting rest and playing their final game on Feb. 8. After that it's time for region playoffs.
Currently the men's varsity Highlanders are ranked number 3 in their region.
