A 10-2 team, a 9-1 team, expectations were high going into Friday night's matchup of Batavia and Irondequoit for an exciting game.
But fans got a different kind of thrill as the Blue Devil's leading scorer topped all of his previous bests and set a new school record with 51 points in the game as Batavia dusted Irondequoit 71-49.
The previous single-game scoring record for Batavia was set by Tom Hoitink at 45 in 1965.
Batavia led wire-to-wire, making the game a bit of a snoozer but for Redband's heroics.
Redband recorded a double-double, pulling down 14 rebounds to go with his 51 points. He was an astonishing 15-15 from the foul line and made six of his 12 three-point attempts. On field goals, he was 15-16. He also blocked a shot, had three steals and three assists.
No other Batavia player was in double digits in any other offensive or defensive category.
Jared Laskett hit three three-pointers to finish with nine points on the night.
The win makes the Blue Devils 11-2 on the season.
