The men were set to face the Fort Scott Greyhounds in the semi-final round of the Region VI Tournament after having a 'bye' for the first round of play. The Scotties had seen the Greyhounds twice this season, victorious both times, and stayed on top the third time around behind an excited crowd to win 78-71.

A 26 point, shooting 53% from the field goal range, to the Greyhounds 11 point run the next 10 minutes gave the Scotties a 40-30 lead in to the half.

Fort Scott's Tyler Zinn scored 25 of the teams points and helped force the Scotties to 20 turnovers compared to their own 13. Highland's bench outscored the Greyhounds 18-9 with Redparth's 20 points and seven rebounds helped a 78-71 victory.
