Big Red Weekend Recap: It was another busy weekend for the Big Red as the winter sports season has passed the midway point and is headed down the home stretch of the season. Almost all of our winter teams were in action over the weekend. It all started on Friday night as the JV and Varsity boys basketball teams hosted Mapleton on Friday night and celebrated Military Appreciation Night. The JV team fell to the Mounties before the varsity came out and played what was probably their best overall game from start to finish all season as they led from wire to wire against the Mounties and cruised to a 62-43 win avenging an early season loss to the Mounties. Then on Saturday night the Big Red were right back in action at home again hosting Western Reserve and it was more of the same as the JV team lost before the varsity came out looking to avenge another earlier loss. This time it wasn't as easy as both teams struggled to find consistent offense and battled each other on the 2nd night of a back to back. The Big Red defense came up big late in the game as Western Reserve had a couple opportunities to tie and/or win the game at the buzzer but could not find the hoop as the Big Red survived with a 44-42 win over the Roughriders making it 3 conference wins in a row. The wins improve them to 8-7 overall on the season and 5-5 in conference play. They will continue their very busy stretch and will be right back in action tonight traveling to Crestline. The MS girls basketball team was in action on Saturday morning in the firelands conference tournament at Crestview and took on New London in the first round. It was a tough game for the Big Red as they could not find much offense, losing by a 22-10 final score seeing their season come to an end. These girls showed a lot of fight and grit this season as they dealt with low numbers and overcame a lot of adversity throughout the season and we are proud of them for how they represented the Big Red! The MS boys basketball teams were also in action on Saturday morning hosting New London and came away with a split as the 7th grade picked up a nice win over the Wildcats while the 8th grade lost. Both teams will be right back in action tonight hosting Mapleton. The Varsity girls were also in action on Saturday as they traveled to Monroeville in a varsity only contest. They battled the hot shooting Lady Eagles but could not keep up with their scoring and lost by a 53-30 final score. They drop to 5-11 overall and 4-6 in conference play and will be right back in action tonight hosting Western Reserve. The MS wrestling team was in action on Saturday at Mapleton's JH Invite and again had some solid individual showings. Clayton Miller and Bentley Meade led the way with 3rd place finishes while Scott Schriner took 4th and Jayce Rogers took 5th. They will be back in action on Friday this weekend wrapping up their season at the firelands conference tournament at Monroeville. The HS wrestling team was in action at Sugarcreek Garaway on Saturday. Noah Robinson led the way with a 2nd place finish while Hunter McClure and Zach Miller both took 3rd place and Lucas Distl took 4th. Big congratulations goes to Zach Miller as he earned his 100th career win on Saturday! They will be back in action on Wednesday this week at the "Battle of 61" super tri meet at Willard.
