After a perfect district season, the Redhawks girls’ basketball team is now in a win or go home situation on Monday as they travel to Carrollton Creekview at 6 p.m. in the opening round of the UIL 5A state playoffs.
“One of the bad things about playing where you’ve been able to have a lot of success and win by large margins is you don’t feel the pressure on you,” head coach Ross Reedy said. “So we’re gonna have to, you know, realize that we want that kind of pressure. We need to go out and we need to play pretty. We need to try to go out and play assertive basketball.”
A win Monday is necessary for the Redhawks to advance to the next round and that’s enough motivation for senior Keyera Rosby.
“I’m really anxious about the games mainly because I know if we lose the season [is] over,” Rosby said. “So there’s definitely a lot of pressure, but I always try my best to not let the pressure get to my head.”
