If Highland Park was feeling good fresh off their 74-38 takedown of Newman Smith last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Highland Park Scots were just a bucket shy of victory on Tuesday and fell 70-69 to the Reedy Lions. The Scots were not able to repeat the success they had when they faced the Lions earlier this season, when they won 71-52.
Reedy's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Joshua Johnson led the charge by going 6 for 10 en route to 19 points. Johnson's evening made it three games in a row in which he has scored at least ten points. Another player making a difference was Jackson Ford, who went 8 of 16 on his way to 20 points and five boards.
Highland Park's loss dropped their record down to 24-6. As for Reedy, the win (which was their third in a row) raised their record to 12-20.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Highland Park has already played their next matchup (against Creekview), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing. Reedy will host Wakeland at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Reedy knows how to get points on the board -- the squad has finished with 55 points or more in their past three contests -- so hopefully Wakeland likes a good challenge.
