For the first time since 2010, Bartow beat Lake Wales in a spirited rivalry game Tuesday night in front of a raucous crowd at Warner University in Lake Wales, 71-51.
The defending state champion Highlanders had previously beaten Bartow in four straight over the last two years, making this the first victory for all eight of Bartow’s seniors over their heated rival. Bartow swept Lake Wales in the 2009-10 season, going on to win state that year.
