Scots Look to Keep Playoff Hopes Alive
With two games remaining, Highland Park still has some work to do if the Scots intend to return to the Class 5A Region II playoffs.
The Scots (12-7-2, 6-6) will host Thomas Jefferson on Friday at Highlander Stadium, in a game between two teams in the middle of the District 11-5A standings and battling for the final postseason seed. HP won the first meeting 2-1 on Feb. 14.
If the Scots don’t get a result on Friday, they will likely need to win on March 16, when they conclude the regular season with a road game against district leader Woodrow Wilson.
HP tumbled in the standings last week with shutout losses in consecutive games against Carrollton Creekview and R.L. Turner.
