Maybe it was the halftime speech by Highland womens coach Dean Buckwalter. Perhaps that “lid” coaches and sometimes players talk about was over the rim Thursday night.
Whatever happened between halftime and the next 20 minutes of the game, it certainly helped Highland out.
The Cougars allowed just nine points in the second half and scored 33 in a 50-42 win on the road.
Highland is now 16-4 -- a record that is better than the one the Cougars had last year.
Don't steal this. I'm using this lead for a notebook for Saturday's paper.
Anyway, this was a bit of a statement from the Cougars in some regards. Granted it's Black Hawk East and all, but Highland finally played a bit of defense.
They needed this for the remainder of the season, believe that.
More on this in Saturday's edition of the J-S.
