Brendyn Hawkins and Conner Kirkpatrick led the team offensively with 36 and 28 points respectively and also led the defense with 12 and eight rebounds respectively.

Also scoring for the Big Reds were Jordan McCoy with eight, Thaler Carter with six, Tyler Gray with four, Tanner Susin with three and Zach Cowan had two points.
Gray had six steals to led the team.
The Big Reds will be in action on Friday, Dec. 12 at Bloomfield to take on the Davis County Mustangs.
