**Batpuff** · 02-20-2007, 08:16 AM

Huntington High's #1 ranked Highlanders have realized something over the last two games. When you start your offense by going inside to Patrick Patterson, good things happen.

The 6-9 center scored 26 points and grabbed 19 rebounds to lead the Highlanders to a 79-64 win over 2nd ranked Capital. Malik Whitten and Tyrone Goard led the Cougars in scoring.

O.J. Mayo scored 23 points in his first game back since a three game suspension after he got two technicals in the first game against Capital.

Some 6-thousand fans watched the state's top two teams do battle.

Huntington High improves to 20-1 on the year and Capital is now 15-3.

The Highlanders next game is against nationally ranked St. Patrick's of New Jersey on Thursday night on ESPN2. Game time is 7:30.

Wonder if Lazo was there, he was the ref that did the Flintstone Flop, good game Huntington, but it just shows that KY Basketball is for real.
