Highland Park’s second win over Forney this season also earned the Scots the second playoff seed from District 15-5A.

In Friday’s game, Finn Corwin scored 22 points to pace the Scots (22-10), who pulled away for their fourth straight victory following a seesaw first half. Cade Wagner added 14 points and Alex Staffaroni tallied 11. HP and Forney were tied in the 15-5A standings after the regular season.

The high-scoring Tigers (15-11) have won three straight games and finished third in District 16-5A during the regular season.
