Considering the entire boys basketball team was at the same time preparing for football season due to the unique circumstances brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, itâs a wonder the Redhawks were able to place third in the Southern Carolina Conference and make the 3A basketball playoffs.
In doing so, the Redhawksâ basketball season ended just three days before the first football game â with no opportunity to postpone. So obviously the Redhawks will need time to get up to speed in football.
Monroeâs football team drew defending 3A state champion Charlotte Catholic in the opener and got blanked (27-0), and it put pressure on them to find a way in Week 2.
