Highland Home beat the Goshen Eagles 42-40 Friday in the first round of the Area 5 tournament in Reeltown to end Goshen’s season.

“This was a very tough game for us,” GHS head coach Jonathan Deveridge said. “I can’t complain about the effort tonight. We played great defense, but we just couldn’t knock down our shots.”

“The last two minutes of the game were the exact opposite of the first half,” Deveridge said. “We just got too aggressive and put them on the free throw line.”

Tyrese Wingard led the Eagles in the loss with 21 points. Antwan Boswell had seven points. Reginald Foster chipped in six points.
