They can finally let it go. Determined not to have to live with more disappointment, the Bulldogs avenged last season's loss to Lancaster on Wednesday with a 69-61 victory at Palmdale High. Highland (14-11, 7-2) clinched at least a share of the league title, its first since 1996 and just its second in school history. ``We refused to let that happen again,'' said Young, who scored a game-high 17 points and was among four Highland players to reach double figures in scoring. ``It's basically been sitting on our minds for a whole year.'' Kris Theus and Curtis McHenry, who combined for 31 points, led a 21-12 Highland fourth quarter, in which Theus scored eight of his 16 points and McHenry scored seven of his 15. Lancaster went more than six minutes without a field goal until Chad McDaniel scored on a layup with 3:08 remaining in the game. Two-time defending league-champion Lancaster (12-10, 6-3) can win a share of the title with a victory over Littlerock on Friday (at a site to be determined today) combined with a Highland home loss to Quartz Hill the same day.
