In a back-and-forth battle the College of the Redwoods men’s basketball team managed to pull off the season sweep over Shasta in Redding on Thursday, beating the Knights 79-69 in its final game of the regular season.

CR, which already had 20-point and 29-point wins over Shasta this season, trailed by five late in the second half but rallied behind a strong offensive performance from James Slade, who scored 16 of his game-high 24 points in the second half.

“We have nothing but respect for their program and their coaching staff and they came out ready to play and we were sluggish,” said CR head coach Justin Mora. “James did a lot of our scoring but our defense was great and we had 10 different players score at least 3 points so it was a total team effort.”

CR’s Justin Heidrick finished the game with 13 points and Mitchell Hash had 10.

With CR’s win, and Lassen losing to Siskiyous on Thursday, CR, Lassen and Siskiyous all finish at 6-4 in the GVC to tie for second place, which means the Corsairs still have a shot at gaining an at-large bid into the postseason.

“We’re hoping two teams from our league can get in and there’s a three-way tie for second so there’s a still a chance we can make it,” Mora said. “But even if we don’t it’s been a real pleasure coaching these kids. It was a little emotional for me after the game because I’ve coached some of these guys for so long and this could be it. But, character wise, this is the best group of players I’ve ever coached. They’re great basketball players and even better people and it’s just been a lot of fun.”

The Corsairs stand at 16-10 overall and the seedings meeting will take place Sunday in Redding.
