Scots Taking Control in District 13-5A
With one of its most lopsided victories of the boys basketball season on Tuesday, Highland Park stretched its winning streak to six games overall.
After a 72-32 thrashing of Greenville, the Scots remained in a tie atop the District 13-5A standings as the league schedule approaches the midway point.
HP also turned in its second consecutive stellar defensive effort following a 57-30 road win over North Forney on Jan. 14. The Scots (18-4, 5-1) will return home to face Royse City on Friday.
In girls action, HP stayed unbeaten in 13-5A play by completing a season sweep of Greenville on Tuesday by a 71-24 score. Paris Lauro scored 24 points to pace the Lady Scots (19-8, 8-0).
That came four days after HP wrapped up the first half of the district slate with a hard-fought 50-39 victory over North Forney. Maddie Heiss led a balanced attack with 11 points for the Lady Scots, who will look to extend a five-game winning streak on Friday at Royse City.
