The Redhawks boys’ basketball team (1-0) came out on top 66-47 against the McKinney North Bulldogs (0-1) in their season opener Friday.

After a disappointing loss to 6A Dallas Jesuit on Tuesday, the boys’ basketball team hopes to bounce back with a win against Panther Creek Friday at 7:00 p.m.

“To get a win tomorrow we just need to play hard, work together and get after it, and do all we can to come out on top,” senior Reuben Livingston said.

The team hopes to use this game as an opportunity to grow before district play begins.

“Our expectations for Friday are to continue to grow as a group and gather experience as we prepare for the district season,” head coach Bruce Wright said.
