Game Highlights

Quarter 1: CB 21 KW 25

The Highlanders hosted their home-opener on Saturday night against the KW Titans. It was a slow start for the Highlanders as they struggled to find points from the field, allowing the Titans to grab an early lead. The Highlanders fought back to end the quarter down by four.

Quarter 2: CB 40 KW 57

The Titans took control again in the second quarter, lifting their lead to as much as 21 points and ending the first half up by 17.

Quarter 3: CB 74 KW 80

The Highlanders slowly chipped away at the Titans' lead early in the third quarter. With steals and stops late in the quarter, the Highlanders had cut the lead to just 6.

Quarter 4: CB 110 KW 108

The Highlanders continued to build momentum early in the final quarter to tie the game at 80 with a strong drive down the middle by O'Louis McCullough. The Highlanders took their first lead of the game 84 to 83 with 9 minutes remaining. Strong team defense and acrobatic finishes by Jamal Reynolds put the Highlanders up 9 with 6 minutes to go. Bruce Massey then hit two back-to-back 3s to put the team up 13 and almost seal the game. The Titans fought back hitting big shots and a big three by Tramar Sutherland to tie the game with 4 seconds remaining. With the clock running, the Highlanders quickly inbounded the ball to Massey who dribbled the ball up the court and drew a foul while attempting a distant last-second shot. With only 0.7 seconds to play, Massey hit 2 of 3 free throws to win the game.
