Highlands slams Brackenridge, 10-0

Highlands did its part to muddy the waters in District 28-5A with a 10-0 win over Brackenridge on March 31.

Owls junior pitcher Bryan Aguilar limited the Eagles (8-9, 5-4) to one hit at SAISD Field No. 2. Highlands (11-5, 7-1) shared first place with Harlandale (12-6, 8-1) and McCollum (10-7, 8-1) as a result of the win.
