The Highlands Bluebirds boys basketball team knew it would be tough to keep scoring at the high-octane pace of just more than 85 points per game it averaged in the first six games in this match-up.

So instead, Highlands put together its best defensive effort of the season scoring-wise in a 57-44 win over the Madison Central Indians (2-5) at the Mike Reitz Classic at Harrison County on Friday. The Bluebirds stayed undefeated at 7-0 with the victory.
