Now that we have the regional title under our belts, it’s time to move onto sectionals. Sectionals this year were held at Dee-Mack High School.

     The Patriots played in the first sectional game against Springfield Calvary. This team was ranked number two, and predicted to win the sectional title. But the Heights didn’t let that bother them. Even though Springfield Calvary was ahead the entire game, it didn’t seem to effect how PHHS was playing. They still played as though they could not be beat. With only a minute and twenty-one seconds to go, the heights finally got their first lead. With that lead they felt unstoppable, and finished off the Saints with a 65-60 win for the Patriots!

     Pumped up after that win, the Heights were more than ready for their game against Leroy. Coming in to this game we all knew it was going to be intense. The Patriots were able to hold off the Panthers for most of the game, and keep it to their advantage. The Heights were ahead the entire game until there was three minutes and thirty-six seconds left in the game, when LeRoy was able to hold the lead by one point. The Heights were not ready to go home yet, so they upped their game and ended with the final score of 48 to 43. The Heights left Dee-Mack High School with their first ever Sectional title.
