The Highlanders won handily, and were up 46-5 by halftime and were up 52-5 at one point so coach Ryan Thompson rested the team’s starters the entire second half.

Thompson said his team played “excellent” defense, including holding the Pirates to just eight points in the fourth quarter.

Dominic Green had 18 points for Hazen, going 6-for-10 including two of three from three-point range and adding four steals.

Isaiah Davis also added 14 points and six steals while Connor O’Hearn had seven points, seven assists, and three steals of his own. Justin Takeuchi also added eight points, including shooting two of five from three-point range.

The Highlanders game against Foster, scheduled for Friday, has been postponed until Jan. 13 due to the weather. Lindbergh next plays on Dec. 27 and 28 at the Thomas Jefferson Tournament.
