After suffering a devastating loss in the Lincoln Prairie Conference championship, the Sullivan Redskins regrouped and refocused on the future, not the past. They came out seeking revenge against those who got in their way. They ended the week with back-to-back thrillers on Friday and Saturday.
Argenta-Oreana
The first game of last week was on the road against the Bombers. While A-O has had struggles this year, they are a team that have been known to come up with tenacity and surprises. Knowing this, the boys got right to work in the first quarter jumping out to a seven point lead. The Bombers chipped away at that lead, bringing the game within three at the half. After a short breather at halftime, the Redskins brought back their own arsenal with a 22 point third quarter. They maintained that lead for the rest of the game, securing the victory 60-52.

The Lady Redskins had two games last week with one being a much anticipated re-match against Tri-County. They rounded out the week with a long road trip to Bloomington.
Tri-County
It had not been many days since these two teams faced off against one another in the Lincoln Prairie Conference championship. A thriller from the beginning, the Lady Redskins prevailed in the end. Now the teams met in regular season. Sullivan did not disappoint.

Twenty SBD swimmers earned the opportunity to compete at the Circle City Classic in Indianapolis last weekend. Making the cut for this meet is no small feat; approximately 1,500 swimmers from across the nation were scheduled to attend, despite the storm that moved through the area, causing delays and schedule changes on Saturday, and ultimately the cancellation of Sunday’s events. Regardless of whether swimmers dropped time or added time, this meet was an experience like no other. Olympians compete in this pool. Sometimes experiences shaped by circumstances outside of our control teach the hardest — and most meaningful — lessons.

The Sullivan Redskins have been on a roller coaster of late, their consistency looking to breakthrough to show everyone what they are really made of. They took steps in doing just that this past week.
Arcola
The Purple Riders of Arcola are a very similar team to Sullivan. A similar record and consistency, it was a perfect stage set for a great performance. It was not a high scoring game, but it was a close game.

Another win one, lose one week for the Redskins

The Sullivan Redskins still hold a winning record of 10-8 (3-2 in conference play). They play every game with tenacity, led by their enthusiastic coach Spencer Plank. Their record is somewhat misgiving though as many of those losses have been close games.
Cerro Gordo/Bement
The game last week against CGB was another one of those close ones. Sullivan was always within reach, but they could not quite bring the game even. The Broncos took the lead early on and held it, barely, for the entire game.
