Ringgold head coach Phil Pergola knew his team would have to play a near-perfect game Saturday to beat Highlands.
The ninth-seeded Rams came up way short of that mark, however, as they suffered a lopsided 80-57 loss to the top-seeded Golden Rams in a WPIAL Class 4A quarterfinal matchup at North Hills High School.
Highlands (20-3) proved to be too athletic, deep and skilled. The Rams were relentless from three-point range, knocking down 12 treys.
“They’re the best team I’ve seen this year,” said Pergola. “Not just the teams we played, but any team I’ve seen this year. They’re very good.”
