I found myself checking out another Senior Day contest yesterday… this time up north in Warrenton, VA; some familiar territory. The Hawks of Highland School have enjoyed a stellar season and took time before tip-off to celebrate their six seniors: Ben Babcox, Josiah Baines, Darret Justice, Aamir Mohammad, Luke Rodgers, and Cameron Timmons. A back-and-forth affair then followed, between Highland and the visiting Christchurch School, in a non-conference matchup. While having to deal with some questionable calls throughout the game, both teams played each other tough and made sure it went down to the final wire; keeping those in the audience on the edge of their seat. Highland ended up victorious, as they made the most of their advantage at the free-throw line late in the game. With another win added to the column, the Hawks now improve at 20-5 with only two more regular-season games remaining. They host Wakefield School on Tuesday (2/12) and then Trinity Christian School makes the visit on Thursday (2/14).
Final Score:
Highland – 61
Christchurch – 59
Some Game/Team Notes
- After struggling pretty bad to make their shots in the first quarter, the Christchurch Seahorses started to turn it on and seemed to give more and more effort as each quarter passed by. I like the grit of head coach Brendan Cole
