Just last week, the Lady Musketeers started their season off at the Sparta Bulldog Invitational, where they worked hard to bring home a 4-0 record as well as a first place plaque.
Their week started out on Monday with a game against Chester. The team knew that it was going to be a tough one with it being the first game of the season. The game started off slow with the Musketeers held scoreless until there was less than one minute left in the first quarter. This was a very physical and low scoring game for Red Bud who led 14-12 at the half. Lilly Minemann and Jeda Friess led scoring at the half with five points each followed by Talia Carter with four points.
