Event winners included the Boys 200 Medley Relay team of Paulus, Wang, Ethan Nguyen, and Omar Hmimy and also 100 Breaststroke winner Henry Wang. Out of the 23 total meet qualifiers, 19 of the swimmers and divers received at least one personal best time or score throughout the weekend. Ways to go Scots! Swimmers of the meet were Henry Wang and Malak Hmimy.
Highland Park won their state record 800th game last Saturday with the 31-24 victory over Denton Ryan in the semi-finals! To help the Scots win their 4th state title, we need the entire Highland Park community at ATT Saturday @ 12:00 Noon to support the Scots when we play Temple in the 5A/Division 1 State Championship football game. This is the 7th time in school history the Scots have played for a state championship winning titles in 1945, 1957, and 2005.
Our goal is to have more fans there than Temple! They also have a tremendous football tradition and will have a big vocal crowd and band @ ATT. We are the home team (Cowboys bench) and seating for the Scots will be on the South side. Gates will open @ 10:30 A.M. Please come support your SCOTS as they move closer to the 2016 5A-D1 state championship!
Remember, when you play one of us, you play all of us! See you Saturday!
