Lady Highlanders Rank 10th in State

The Basketball Coaches Association of Tennessee recently released a new set of weekly rankings for teams all across the state. Many familiar schools appeared on the rankings, but one new addition in particular stood out. For the first time in program history, Scott High’s Lady Highlanders are ranked in the top ten in the state.They entered the poll at the tenth position, and they’ve certainly earned the distinction. With 20 wins so far on the season, and a number one seed entering the postseason (their first such seed in almost 30 years), the Lady Highlanders have done a phenomenal job this season, with high hopes as the season winds down. This is the first instance of a Scott High team sport being ranked within the state since the 1994 Highlander football team, which climbed as high as 8th in the state. This highlights how rare of an accomplishment this is. No doubt, the Lady Highlanders have something to celebrate given their success this year. As of this writing, the Lady Highlanders have only two more regular season games left to play: they’ll face McCreary County on February 10th, and Monterey on February 14th. After that, they move forward to the playoffs, with their heads held high.
