The Sullivan Redskins have an overall winning record. And in the conference, they are undefeated. This is thanks to two big wins over conference opponents last week.

First up was Cerro Gordo/Bement. Defensively, their main focus was Will Fuson. Aside from his quickness, he is dangerous behind the arc. He proved so by draining five threes in the evening. Unfortunately, no other CGB player got out of single digits in scoring. For Sullivan, Drayden Watkins led the team with 13 points. He was followed closely by Cam Watkins who had 12. James Feldkamp had eight points, including two first quarter threes while Tegan McRill had seven points. DeMarkus Moore had six points while Cooper Christensen contributed with five of his own. The boys won 53-31.

After suffering their only loss of the season against Paris, the Lady Redskins fired back last week with a three game win streak, with two of those games being conference matchups. The first of the conference games, a contest against Heritage, was an easy victory for the ferocious Lady Redskin team.

The Sullivan Redskins’ basketball team started the season with a 54-40 win over St. Teresa. That was followed by a close loss to Windsor/Stew-Stras by the score of 53-60. The team was back in action last Friday and Saturday against Armstrong and Paris, respectively. They lost to Armstrong (58-78) before evening their record against Paris (63-49).

Cam Watkins returns as a threat from not only behind the arc but from mid-range as well. He had 16 points against WSS, second highest on the team in scoring that game behind Mitchell Hooten. Watkins would also be the second highest scorer against Armstrong with 12 points, all three pointers. James Feldkamp led the team that game with 15 points, including three three’s. It was against Paris that Watkins had a breakout performance. He would score 35 of the teams 63 points. He drained three three’s while going 10 for 12 at the charity stripe.

The Lady Redskins basketball team played Mt. Zion and Robinson last week, followed by a contest against St. Teresa this past Monday. Last year, the ladies lost to Mt. Zion and St. Teresa (they didn’t play Robinson). This year the story had a different ending.

The Mt. Zion game was close. But Devon Richardson made sure Sullivan stayed on top. She had a team high 13 points, including three baskets from behind the three point line. Helping her out down low was Addison Minor who collected 12 rebounds while putting up 10 points herself for a double-double. Emily Miller and Aeralyn Thrasher each had eight points in the contest. Miller also led the team in steals and assists. The final in Mt. Zion was 46-43.
