In their final game of District 11-5A play before the playoffs begin, the boys’ basketball team (9-5) defeated the Lebanon Trail TrailBlazers (0-14) 42-25 for the tenth consecutive time on the road Tuesday,

After beating 0-8 Lebanon Trail in the first round of District 10-5A play, the Redhawks boys’ basketball team faces them again at 7:15 p.m. on Friday.

“Our guys are prepared, and we know we’re capable of getting the job done,” assistant coach Bo Wilson said. “What we’re truly proud of takes place outside of our Tuesday and Friday night games – the focus, dedication, and pride they show up with every day to work on their craft.”

With a current six game losing streak, the Redhawks hope to get a win on Friday and improve their district record to 3-6.

“If we do the things we are supposed to on both ends of the floor, we can definitely win,” sophomore Toshiro Mahtani said.
