No. 4 Redskins, No. 3 Lady Redskins look to advance in 1A Super Regionals

RED MESA, Ariz. — After a tough season, the Red Mesa Redskins boys basketball were in fourth place in the 1A North Region as they headed to the Super Regional Tournament this week.

They posted a win over the Shonto Prep Grizzlies, 57-26, Jan. 26 at home. On the road Jan. 28, they lost a game to Williams, 71-46. The score wasn't indicative of the game quality, however, as Red Mesa put up a good fight before the Vikings piled on the pressure in the fourth quarter.
