It was another successful week for the 7th grade Highlanders boy’s basketball team
as they sandwiched two close wins around one tough loss.
On Monday, Piedmont extended their winning streak to five with a 47-46 nailbiter
over Foothill. A well-balanced scoring attack gave the Highlanders an eight-point
lead late in the game, and they held on for the W.
Tuesday’s game against Stanley Middle School started off strong for the visiting
Highlanders. With Ben Barrett doing his best Steph Curry impersonation and hitting
six three-pointers, the game was neck and neck midway through the second half.
Stanley then turned up the defensive pressure and went on a scoring run, eventually
closing out the Highlanders by a 50-39 score.
Barrett finished with 22 points, Max Davis had 11 and Emmett Reed pounded the
boards throughout the entire game. Roy Connors fired up the team late in the third
quarter by taking a gutsy charge.
On Wednesday, the Highlanders got back on the winning track with a 44-40 victory
over Martinez.
