The boys’ basketball team was able to escape with a 44-43 win against Independence on Tuesday night.
“The guys did exactly what was asked of them throughout the entire game,” assistant coach Bo Wilson said. “We wanted to really focus on the defensive side of the ball, and they did a great job of making Independence take tough shots. The biggest takeaway from the other night is that we played together. Everyone had to sacrifice a little something so that the entire team could succeed.”
With three players out with injury, freshman Ian Williams stepped up and led the way for the Redhawks with 20 points. Senior Reuben Levingston did his part with a last second three pointer to secure the win.
“I felt like I had something to prove,” Williams said. “I felt like I did really well, especially the way I scored the ball to help my team win and stay in the game.”
