The Red Boiling Springs High School Basketball team participated in the 17th Annual 2010 Nera White Invitational Basketball Tournament held in Lafayette, December 28-30, 2010.
The Bulldogs were seated against Germantown for the first round of the event, and kept the fight close, before  their opponent pulled away in the final minutes of the game, to lose the challenge by mere points, 62-59.
The Bulldogs (10-5) opened the first round with an 18-13 advantage over Germantown, but by the halftime break, the Bulldogs were trailing 37-36.
Red Boiling Springs got back on top in the third quarter, 57-55, however all the time out sessions were exhausted in the final round of play, leaving the Bulldogs to finish the game without any re-grouping strategies, and eventually losing the fight by three points as the buzzer sounded.
Wes Grace led the team with 27 points, followed by Andrew Mullinix with 11 points, Isaiah Washington with ten points, Allen Kirk with nine points, and Jordan Grace with two points.
