The girls’ basketball team (7-1) is on a two game winning streak after beating Emerson (6-2) 58-27 on Saturday and Frisco (1-7) 50-23 on Tuesday. With this, the team remains second in District 11-5A.

For senior Christal Webb, the team’s defense was extremely important in winning both games.

“[What is important is] being 100% ready and locked in all the time,” Webb said. “Some key factors are our defense, making sure it’s really strong. As well as taking our time on offense and making sure we’re taking the right play into the game.”

Wingspan was unable to contact the Redhawk girls’ basketball coach for game interviews.
