Part of the reason for the fast start for the Highland Huskies boys’ basketball team (7-1 overall; 6-1 SEISC North) has been the way they have protected their home floor.When having home field advantage this season Highland is undefeated (4-0), including earning victories over Southeast Iowa Super Conference North opponents Lone Tree (51-50), Mediapolis (58-49), and Wapello (61-26).

The Huskies welcome the Winfield-Mount Union Wolves (5-5 overall; 5-3 SEISC North) to Highland High School for a conference showdown. After winning their five of their first six games, the Wolves have lost four straight including 48-43 loss to Louisa-Muscatine Tuesday evening in Letts.

Tonight’s varsity boys’ basketball game is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. at Highland High School.
