Galbreath is not the only Highlander who has been excelling lately. Kohl had nothing but praise for the 13-1 Highlanders, who moved up to the No. 2 spot in the Daily News rankings. ``Everybody's learned their roles on the team,'' Kohl said. ``They've got good chemistry. They're going to be pretty tough to beat.''

So far, finding a way to win has not been a problem for the Musketeers (11-3), who are loaded with experienced players. All-Southern Section junior guard Damaris Hinojosa is having another stellar season and is joined by five returning seniors. ``We're a competitive team,'' coach Brent Milburn said. ``Our team is right where we want to be.
