``We got tentative tentative,

 and went away from what we do,'' Highland coach Jeff Smith said. ``And that hurt us in our first game.''

Highland solved the problem in the second meeting, winning 69-56.

``We came in much more focused and pushed the ball and never let up,'' Smith said. ``We did what we are supposed to do, and it made all the difference.''

--Record holder: Littlerock's Shonte Petersen became the school's single-season record holder for 3-pointers Friday when he hit his 49th of the year to break Tim Anderson's mark.

Petersen added to the record Tuesday against Quartz Hill with four 3s to reach 54.
