The Bluebirds (5-9 overall) hoped to see it transfer into a huge 9th Region win on the road Tuesday in Union. Highlands battled the Cooper Jaguars (10-3) tough, but could not come away with the win falling 55-45. The Jaguars came in fresh off winning the prestigious Traditional Bank Holiday Classic at Lexington Catholic last week including wins over the hosts and defending state champion Lexington Paul Dunbar.
Highlands saw senior center Kyle Finfrock lead the way with 16 points. The Bluebirds made 10-of-15 from the free-throw line for 67 percent and the Jaguars hit 3-of-10 for just 30 percent.
Highlands plays host to Newport (8-6) on Saturday to open 36th District action. Game time is 7:30 p.m.
