Highland Springs wins a wild game
Figure this one. One quarter into the Highland Springs-Deep Run game in the first round of the Times-Dispatch Invitational Tournament last night, the host Deep Run Wildcats were shooting lights out and had the Springers fighting for their collective lives. The game swung the other way, however, and with just over four minutes to go in the contest, the visiting Springers, thanks to a perfect storm of speed, quickness, and defensive intensity, had a commanding 17-point lead. Many in the home crowd were heading for the exits.
