SPARTA — Highland was ready for the high school football season on Friday night, and showed it from the start.
The Scots jumped to a 14-0 first-quarter lead and never looked back to knock off visiting Fredericktown 28-7 in the non-conference season opener for both schools.
Highland maintained a 14-0 advantage at halftime, and enjoyed a 21-7 margin heading to the fourth quarter.
The Scots scored another touchdown in the final period to finish it.
Last season, Fredericktown and Sparta Highland squared off on Aug. 22, 2025 at Fredericktown High School.
Highland travels to Heath next week to face the Bulldogs, who were hammered 51-20 by Philo on Friday night.
Fredericktown is at Northridge next week. The Vikings fell 19-14 to East Knox last night.
