The Red Hurricanes are coming off a big season as WPIAL Championship again however, they came a little short of the State Championship. With the help of Coach Blundo and the talented players, the team hopes to pick back up where they left off last season. This year they have a team full of veteran leaders and in this interview, I spoke with 5 players on the team, asking them three questions regarding the 2021-2022 basketball season.
