The Jackets, now 1-2 on the season, showed grit and determination as they battled through a nail-biting game that came down to the wire. The win not only boosted team morale but also set the tone for their upcoming challenges.
Hayesville will look to carry this momentum into Friday’s game as they travel to Bryson City to face the Swain County Maroon Devils in a 1A Big Smoky Conference clash. The Maroon Devils (1-3) are coming off a tough 88-49 non-conference loss to Smoky Mountain and will undoubtedly be eager to defend their home court.
For Highlands, the loss drops their record to 3-4 on the year. The Highlanders have a chance to rebound on Friday when they host the Hiwassee Dam Eagles in a 1A Little Smoky Conference matchup. The Eagles (5-1) recently triumphed over Hayesville with a 57-49 victory, making Friday's showdown an exciting opportunity for Highlands to test their mettle against a strong opponent.
Hayesville’s victory over Highlands is a promising sign for Jackets Nation as the team continues to build confidence and chemistry early in the season. All eyes will be on the court Friday night to see if Hayesville can string together back-to-back wins.
