“The girls have been very close several times lately, but couldn’t quite get over the hump. Today they played 4 quarters and finished the game. This was a very good win for us. I am super proud of them,” said HHS head coach Jonny Mitchell.

Ayden Reese controlled the score board with 24 points for Highland Home. Mitchell mentioned that Reese is nearing her 1,000-point career mark and she is only a junior.

Hope Richardson led Brantley with nine points.

Brantley’s game against McKenzie on Tuesday will be posted on The Luverne Journal’s website.
