In a display of skill and teamwork, the Redwood Varsity boys basketball team secured a victory against the MWHS Pioneers, capping off their season with a celebratory Senior Night. Evan Galley, wearing number 45, and Jackson Swanson, number 10, were honored for their dedication and contribution to the team over their high school careers. The evening was not just about basketball; it also paid tribute to the senior members of the RHS Cheer squad, acknowledging their spirit and support that have fueled countless games.
The game, which ended with a score of 49-39, was a testament to Redwood’s solid performance throughout the season, bringing their record to an impressive 21-8 overall and an undefeated 10-0 in the league. The home crowd witnessed a series of strategic plays and teamwork, leading to their 13th consecutive win, a fitting streak for Senior Night.
With the gymnasium decorated with banners reading “School of Champions,” the atmosphere was charged with enthusiasm and pride. Supporters, families, and students came out in force, some holding up giant cutouts of the players’ faces, adding to the vibrant celebration of the seniors’ last home game.
The game’s high points included spectacular dunks, swift passes, and a defense that kept the Pioneers at bay. The players’ commitment was evident in every leap for a rebound and every sprint down the court.
Redwood’s basketball program, led by a coach Black, is dedicated to excellence and continues to foster talent that shines both on and off the court.
This Senior Night will be remembered not just for the victory on the scoreboard, but for the celebration of young athletes who have given their all to the game, their team, and their school.
