The Highland Lady Rebels won their opening game at regionals against Forrest City and qualified for the 4A state tournament in Magnolia next week.
Highland led 6-5 after a free throw from the Lady Mustangs, and that was as close as it would be for the rest of the game.
Highland ended the quarter on a 11-2 run pulling away to 26-12 halftime lead and forced the turbo clock in the 4th winning 51-25.
Emma Hyslip had 14 and Bailee Duhme added 12 for the Lady Rebels who moved to 18-6 on the season.
