Scotland Yard Classic Brings Tough Tests
When Highland Park hosts the annual Scotland Yard Classic tournament this weekend, it will try to prepare for the rigors of the upcoming District 15-5A schedule while also attempting to secure some victories against top-notch competition.
And in this case, the Scots (4-7) will look to bounce back after a weekend in which their bats were largely silent at the Collin County Invitational. HP earned just one victory in six games (against Allen), and scored a total of nine runs.
The Scots will play their home opener at 11 a.m. Thursday against Denton Guyer to kick off a three-day, round-robin event. Besides HP, games will take place at Prosper, Rockwall, and Coppell.
The field also includes Belton, Sachse, Midland, Flower Mound, Rowlett, Southlake Carroll, Plano East, and Plano John Paul II. A complete schedule follows the jump.
