Red River boys can secure district championship with win
The Red River boys opened the second half of District 3-2A in a big way by hammering Many 95-49 at home Tuesday.

The Bulldogs (15-8, 5-0) can clinch the district championship with a win at Mansfield tonight, which tips at 7:30 p.m.

Mansfield is in second place with a 3-2 mark, and a Red River win would give the Wolverines three district losses with two game remaining.

Red River won the first meeting in a 74-38 blowout.

While the Bulldogs have played other teams close (77-68 win at Many and a 69-58 win at Winnfield), recent games have not been competitive.

Red River exploded in wins of 71-18 over one-win Lakeside and the 46-point win against Many.

The Bulldogs are currently the No. 5 seed in Division III Non-Select.

Red River girls can take district lead tonight
The Red River girls basketball team will pack its bags for Mansfield on Friday with a chance to grab District 3-2A by the horns.

Both the Lady Bulldogs (16-12, 4-1) and Lady Wolverines (14-10, 4-1) have just one district loss each, and a Red River win means the Lady Bulldogs sweep the season series against Mansfield.

Red River’s lone district loss came to Many, but the Bulldogs avenged that loss in a big way Tuesday with a 58-43 win.

The Lady Bulldogs did have a let down against Class 5A Captain Shreve in a 64-28 loss, but the program has won seven of its past nine contests.

Red River sits squarely in the first-round home playoff realm at No. 11 Division III Non-Select.
