Great group of kids who wouldn’t give up. Big props to HP, kids were so gracious after the game and wished us well. Coach Piehler and his staff are a class act and had his team ready.
FINAL: Plano 61, Highland Park 54
Impressive resolve by @PlanoBasketball to withstand a 2nd-half rally by HP and punch their ticket to the regional quarterfinals. Biggest win for the program in a while, knocking off the state's #6-ranked team.
