Dispelling any notion that they can't play on the big stage, the Highlander boys' team played a consistent game at the Charleston Civic Center this afternoon to beat the Summers County Bobcats 69 to 55.
Webster grabbed the lead early in the first quarter and never looked back, holding a 22 to 7 lead at the end of the first quarter, and a 30 to 20 lead at halftime. Webster ran up an 18 point lead at 44 to 26 in the third quarter and finished the quarter with an insurmountable 17 point lead at 49 to 32. The Highlanders then coasted to the final score of 69 to 55 (it should be noted that although the scoreboard read 69 to 55 at the final buzzer, the Associated Press reports the final score at 70 to 55 and the box score supports the 70 points--must have been some post-game adjustment if that is true).
Highlanders who scored included: Michael Malcolm 5, Billy Wilson 3, Hayden Williams 18, Dorian Groggs 15, Dalton Gray 16, Bradin Miller 9, and Mathias Palmer 4.

Former head coach Steven Nutter watched the game and saw the Highlanders win for the first time in about the six games he has attended. As a result, his ban is lifted.
