The Niners have started strong in almost every game this season but against Highland that was not the case. The Niners found themselves down 10-3 early in the 1st quarter. A big 2nd quarter propelled the Niners to a slim 20-18 halftime lead. The 3rd quarter was back and forth and the game was all knotted up going into the 4th. The 4th quarter saw much of the same as the 3rd. But in the last 3 minutes the Niners were able to slowly increase their lead and came away with a 40-34 win. The win moved them to 5-4 on the season and 2-0 in the NCC. The JV also came away with an impressive win to get the night started.
