Riding a nine game winning streak to start the District 10-5A season, the girls’ basketball team goes for a 10th straight district win when they host the Emerson Mavericks Tuesday at The Nest. The teams met to start district play in December with the Redhawks winning by five in overtime.

The girls’ basketball team hosts the Emerson Mavericks Tuesday at 5:45 p.m. as they seek to continue their nine-game win streak at The Nest.

“It’s going to be another exciting game,” junior Anaiah Warrior said. “We hope to play better than we did last time against them, and keep a bigger gap in the points.”

The last time the Redhawks faced off against Emerson, the Mavericks took the Redhawks to overtime with Liberty winning by five points. However, sophomore Jacy Abii believes the Redhawks have an edge.

“I would say our biggest strength is our discipline and working together as a team,” sophomore Jacy Abii said.
