After so many nail-biters that ended with only slight loses, this was a well deserved victory for the Highlanders! Considering that this is a brand new team and they have had virtually no time to "gel" due to the coming and going of players since the onset,(mostly due to injuries) they have been amazing. Hopefully all of those adjustments are done and we will witness the team evolve as a whole on the court. We have 2 home games this week......one Friday and one Saturday. If you have not checked out a game yet, come and out and see the excitement for yourself. You might think you don't like basketball (like I did) but just try it once. It's non stop excitement!
