Highland Springs didn't have too much breathing room in their game against Steward in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, but they still walked away with a 54-48 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Springers since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
