“We have a great group of girls, and we work hard every day,” Red Bay head coach Donnie Roberts said.
Red Bay stayed far ahead of Phil Campbell throughout the contest, despite being outscored 29-28 in the second half, giving the Lady Tigers another impressive win.
“We knew what they’d be coming in,” Phil Campbell head coach Darit Riddle said.
