The Riverside Bulldogs used a firm scoring night and a strong run at the end of the first half to control the game in a 62-52 win in Oakland on Tuesday. The game started competitively for Riverside as they led 13-7 midway through the first quarter. The Vikings then used a Camden Soukup three to spark a 9-2 run to end the first quarter and were up 16-15.  The Bulldogs found their footing in the latter half of the second quarter continually driving inside the lane and forcing free throws. The foul trouble allowed Riverside to create a 13-0 run to finish the second quarter and have the Bulldogs fans excited.

The second half saw AHSTW clawing their way back into the game getting the lead down to two but could never get over the hump with the consistent answers from Riverside.

Grady Jeppesen had an impressive game for the Bulldogs with 29 points, shooting the ball well throughout the night. Peyton Amdor added 10 points and Cole Jeppesen finished with 10. Head Coach Nick Kroon said it was a good win for his team.

Riverside improves to 9-9 on the season and go 2-0 against AHSTW on the season. Next up for the Bulldogs is a road trip to Tri-Center on Friday. Wins like this give Coach Kroon confidence in his team’s ability to make an impact in the post season.

The Vikings were led by 23 points from Camden Soukup. AHSTW drops to 4-14 on the year and will head to Treynor for their next game on Friday.
