The Springer Red Devils were beaten by the Logan Longhorns 88-58 on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Red Devils can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' New Mexico basketball rankings (they are ranked 113th, while the Longhorns are ranked 24th).

Coming up, Springer will face off against New Mexico School for the Deaf at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday.
