Highland got all that Brighton could give them in a near upset in 5A Region 6, but the Rams kept their lead stable and escaped with a close win over the Bengals on the road, 60-56. Each quarter of the game was decided by 2 points or fewer. The Rams had a tough time dealing with Brighton's Maya Mismash, who finished with a game-high 21 points on five 3-pointers, but junior Sosefina Langi scored 18 points to lead the Rams, while Nia Olevao and Olivia Tausinga added 17 and 11, respectively. Olivia Stephens and freshman Sophie Nelson added 13 and 10 points, respectively, for Brighton in the loss. "Brighton is a tough team. We stuck with our game plan and made adjustments when needed. We made free throws at the end that we needed," Highland coach Sala Asiata said.
