The Highland Scotties took the field against Garden City Community College and came out with great energy, as both teams were looking for their first win of the season.
The first quarter went scoreless as Highland's stout defense was on display. Dee'Shari Keith and Ty Berrong sacked Garden City's Ty Perry for a 14-yard loss on a big 4th and 1 in the first quarter. Highland scored first in the 2nd quarter off the first of two blocked punts by Manowa Ngenzirabona.
The punt was scooped and scored by Quantre Moore. Highland's 2-point conversion attempt was unsuccessful. Earnie Whipple returned an interception 37-yards off a pass from Garden's Ty Perry in the 2nd also. Garden's Travis Dixon scored on a 1-yard touchdown run to at the 2:14 mark. That touchdown and extra point would help Garden take a 7-6 lead into halftime. The 3rd quarter went scoreless.
Ty Perry completed a 30-yard touchdown pass to Martiel Singlet in the 4th quarter to round out the scoring, as Garden City won 14-6. It was a rough outing for the Scotties offensively. Kason Jones lead the rushing attack with 21 carries for 42-yards. Highland could only muster 46 total yards.
