Highland has a big test tonight against Carl Sandburg (13-6, 4-0 Arrowhead Conference).
The Cougars (16-4, 4-1) look to take control over the conference with the win, but the Chargers have been impressive despite its 2-6 record against ranked teams.
Carl Sandburg is ranked No. 16 in the NJCAA Division II poll last week and Highland received one vote in the Division I poll — four less than what it received a week before. Last week, the Chargers defeated Kishwaukee, 73-62 — the same opponent lost to in a buzzer-beating 3-pointer.
However, Kankakee Community College (15-4), a Region IV opponent, beat Carl Sandburg, 81-74, at the Chargers home floor. Ironically, Highland beat Kankakee at home with a Jackie Barton buzzer-beater for a 44-42 win.
The Chargers have been conference champs for five years and counting. Highland has yet to win the Arrowhead since 1996.
This game also has Region IV implications, so plenty is at stake tonight.
