After a sloppy loss to Brown Mackie back in January, the Scotties had a different mindset coming into one of their final games in Ben Allen Field House on the year.
Â
Dontre English was back at it again offensively scoring 20 points and helping his team to a 90-67 win over the Brown Mackie Lions, the Scotties 21
st win of the year.
Â
After a Brown Mackie player was ejected halfway through the first half, the Scotties took advantage of the Lions and jumped out to a quick 18-point halftime lead. Highland scored 50 points in the first half with the help of freshman
Jaquan Daniels who scored 15 of his 16 in the first half.
Â
The Scotties came out of the locker room and put together a 14-4 run to start the second half, a run the Lions would never be able to recover from. Highland went on to win the game 90-67.
Â
Dontre English led all scorers on the night with 20 points. He pulled down seven rebounds and dished out seven assists.
Jaquan Daniels finished with a double-double 16 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman point guard
Ryan Haskins went 4-7 from deep and ended with 14 points, five rebounds and five assists. Danmons O'Conner was the other Scottie in double figures scoring 10 points.
Â

th at 3:00pm. That day is also Sophomore Recognition Day and will recognize Scottie sophomores
Collin Jasper and
