Highlands Advances to the Pete with 53-45 Win Over Blackhawk

In a game heard on WBVP and 99.3 it was Bob Barrickman and Jason Calangelo on the call from North Allegheny High School where the top seeded Highlands Golden Rams faced off against the Blackhawk Cougars. It was a game that was all Blackhawk early and they took an 13-11 lead after one. Then the game got interesting going back and fourth, but Blackhawk held a slim lead going into the half 29-28. then Highlands started to pull away going up by as much as 11, but Blackhawk didn’t go down without fighting. They were down 42-38 after three. Then Highlands went on a run to close the game and won to advance to the 4A WPIAL Championship game to take on Belle Vernon. For Blackhawk they will play next Friday in the State Tournament.
