The 2016 Junior High Basketball season is off to a strong start for both the boys and girls teams. Both Redbird squads came into the season having to replace numerous key players who have moved up to the Varsity team. In addition, the Lady Redbirds have a new leader in veteran coach Steve Lasman. Both squads kicked off the season, as usual, with the Winston Tournament. The girls played strong first and second round games before finally coming up short against Stewartsville in the championship. The Redbird boys didn't have any such hurdles to get over, as they swept their way to the tournament title. This is the 6th year in a row that our boys team has appeared in the championship game.
Both squads feature seven players, but even with smaller numbers, play an uptempo style that puts pressure on opponents and leads to easy buckets in transition. On the young season, both teams stand at 4-1. Both squads will be in action on Halloween (10-31-16) as they welcome the junior high squads from Maysville to Winston. Come and catch the future of Winston basketball and you will see that: It is a Great Day to be a Redbird!
