You can't lose the match if you win every quarter, and that was precisely the Lejeune Devil Pups's strategy against the Southside Seahawks on Friday. Lejeune strolled past the Seahawks with points to spare, taking the game 71-52. That's another feather in the cap for Lejeune, who also won these teams' last head-to-head.
Lejeune's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Trevor Highsmith led the charge by dropping a double-double on 32 points and ten rebounds. As a matter of fact, that's the most points Highsmith has scored all season. Camron Myers was another key contributor, scoring 20 points along with eight rebounds and two blocks.
Lejeune has been performing well recently as they've won three of their last four matches, which provided a massive bump to their 9-10 record this season. As for Southside, they are on a seven-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 3-19.
Lejeune will be playing at home against the Panthers at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday. One thing working in Northside - Pinetown's favor is that they have posted big point totals in their last seven contests.
