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.
Both the AHSTW Lady Vikes and Riverside Bulldogs had a tough time getting comfortable on the offensive end of the floor and, but the Lady Vikes made just enough baskets to get the 30-17-win Thursday night.
The game was a very low scoring affair, especially in the first half as AHSTW led 10-7 at the break. The Lady Vikes used a 9-2 run to secure their lead in the third quarter. They then scored a quick two shots to start the fourth quarter to make it tough on the Bulldogs.
Riverside’s offense had no response in the second half as they only managed to score 10 points in the last 16 minutes.
While the win was not pretty for AHSTW Head Coach Jason McCall he was proud of the way his team limited the Bulldogs scoring.
The Lady Vikes were led by 8 points from Ella Langer and 7 from Delaney Goshorn. AHSTW improves to 11-6 and stay on the road to face Treynor Friday evening.
To secure more wins throughout the remainder of the year, Coach McCall is going to have his team focus on improving their offense.
Riverside was led by 7 points from Madison Kelley. Riverside’s record drops to 9-9 and they travel to face Tri-Center on Friday.
