Adams Highlanders fall to Southfield Blue Jays 56 - 67.  

Adams got behind early when Southfield exploited their strength of quickness on defense and offensive rebounding that gave them too many second chance points. The Highlanders showed their character and fought back in the second quarter to get with-in a basket, but Southfield demonstrated very good discipline and broke down Adams defense inside to build the lead back up to 13 points at half time. Jon Crandell came up big to have his career best game and scored 9 of his game high 20 points in the second period.

The Highlanders came out in the second half with an impressive defensive stand that allowed only 6 Southfield points in the third quarter and cut the lead down to 4 points. The Blue Jays however started the fourth quarter with an 11 – 0 run that was too much for Adams to overcome.
