The Eureka Springs Highlanders got off to a nice start last week, avenging a loss to Arkansas Arts Academy on Monday, Jan. 25, and winning on the road at Alpena three days later.
But all it took to undo whatever momentum the Highlanders had gained with those two wins was a single phone call on Friday.
We were about to play Friday night. We were supposed to start playing at 5 oclock, and 3 oclock on the nose my phone rang and one of my kids had tested positive for COVID so we all got sent home.
Rambo said the Highlanders hope to be cleared to return to the court next week, but its hard to keep any momentum under this seasons unique circumstances.

Eureka Springs coach Ryan Sanchez is taking a realistic approach to a rebuilding season for the Lady Highlanders.
After losing five seniors from last seasons state tournament team, Sanchez hopes Eureka Springs can be a contender again next season, using this year as a building block for a team composed mostly of juniors.
Going into the year, that s what my focus was with this group being primarily juniors who haven t played a lot of varsity minutes, Sanchez said. So it s more of a senior season goal mindset, I guess you could say. Thats just the truth of the situation.
