Highland is looking to give their home crowd another W after opening their season at home on Tuesday. They took down Rio Grande 74-60. The Hornets haven't had any issues with the Ravens recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive victory against them.
Highland's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Juan Limas led the charge by almost dropping a double-double with 17 points and nine rebounds. The team also got some help courtesy of Edwin Montelongo, who dropped a double-double with 11 points and 13 boards.
Meanwhile, Carlsbad had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They took a 57-52 hit to the loss column at the hands of El Dorado on Tuesday.
Highland beat Carlsbad 76-69 in their previous matchup back in December of 2016.
