A second-half surge and 21 points from Will Enzor lifted Highland Park past McKinney 57-51 on Tuesday for its first road win of the season.

The Scots (4-3) got back on track after dropping three of their previous four games. Ethan Nussbaum added 19 points for HP, while E.J. Clark paced the Lions with 28 points.

In their previous game on Nov. 22, the Scots suffered through a poor first half during a 69-57 loss at Arlington Bowie. Nussbaum scored 14 points in that game, while Alex Staffaroni added 11.

HP will return home on Monday to face HSAA for the third time already this season. The Scots defeated the home-school squad twice during the HP Scot Classic tournament.
