A Missouri girls high school basketball playoff game was partially replayed Wednesday night following a ruling by the state athletics association that game officials improperly handled a scoring dispute.

The unusual replay was ordered by the Missouri State High School Activities Association after Highland High School protested during Monday night's Class 3 sectional game that their scorebook showed one more point than was displayed on the official scoreboard. Principia High School had won the original contest 46-45.

The state association determined that game officials failed to follow proper procedures when addressing Highland's protest during the Monday night game. As a result, the final score from the original game was voided.

The partial replay took place Wednesday night to resolve the scoring discrepancy and determine the legitimate winner of the sectional matchup. The specific procedures that officials failed to follow during the original protest were not detailed in the available reports.
