Girls basketball defeats nationally ranked Desoto high school in neck and neck match. “Getting this win was really important for us because we had never beaten DeSoto before,” junior Kathryn Murphy said.
The Redhawks girls’ basketball team took on the #9 team in the nation DeSoto High School Thursday, but did not back down to the challenge as the Redhawks won in overtime 43-41.
“Getting this win was really important for us because we had never beaten DeSoto before,” junior Kathryn Murphy said. “I am beyond proud of my teammates and our determination to getting this win.”
Sophomore Jacy Abii put up 18 points in the game, making her a key player in the success.
