Fueled by the love for his team and their precious time together, Anthony Bonner delivered one of the most memorable performances in Red Bank High School boys’ basketball history.
The senior star propelled the Lions to the TSSAA Class 3A state tournament next week in Murfreesboro with a 29-point performance in Monday’s 56-49 comeback home sectional victory over Lawrence County.
Also Monday in the sectional round, Chattanooga Prep advanced in Class A with a 66-53 win over Pickett County. The remaining teams in the Chattanooga area, Brainerd, Tyner, Walker Valley and Bradley Central, were eliminated.
With 3:02 remaining in regulation, Bonner gave Red Bank (28-7) the lead for good as he took a quick pass from senior Kendrick Lloyd in the right corner and kissed his shot off the glass for a 50-48 lead.
