“We had a balanced scoring tonight,” Red Level head coach Allen Catrett said. “I thought the boys did a really good job for the most part. I’m really proud that they were able to come out here tonight and get a win. There are a few things we need to clean up, but overall it was a good night. We had balanced scoring again. We needed a stop there at the end and Joel (Phillips) stepped up and got the block.”

Coleman led the Tigers with 14 points.

Green finished the game with 12 points.

Catrett and Russell each had 11 points.
