The Musketeer basketball regular season is winding down, and every game means just a little more when playoffs seeding is on the line. This past week Red Bud played at home for two games, Tuesday against Marissa and then they had senior night Friday against a very good Carlyle team.
Tuesday’s game started very well for RBHS as the offense was clicking throughout the first quarter. The Musketeers led 15-9 after one. In the second quarter, however, things went downhill quickly as Marissa made a run of their own. Red Bud’s offense cooled off considerably as shots just refused to fall through the net.
