Win over Roosevelt

Aidan Richard and Trey Thompson were high scorers for the game.
District Co-Champions
The victory over Roosevelt clenched Reagan’s spot as District Co-Champion. The team finished district with a 15-1 record, tying with Clark for the top spot. After the game, Coach Hirst led the team in ceremoniously cutting down the net to commemorate the achievement.

Let’s pack the house! Go Rattlers!
