Highland wins sixth straight

The Cougars have won their 18th game of the season, including its sixth straight win to conclude the end of January. Highland beat Illinois Valley, 76-63.

Jackie Barton again finds ways score and had a double-double with 17 points and 13 boards.

How about this freshman class though? Mallory Magee also scored 17 points, which was a team-high.

The Cougars are just two wins away from tying the win total Highland had a year ago in the regular season. Magee, Renee Deuth and Alexi Tann all have had plenty to do with Highland's success and why Highland is currently tied for second place in the Arrowhead Conference.

Also, Highland received four votes this week in the NJCAA Div. I Women's Basketball Poll
