Last night, the River Kings traveled to Davenport to take on the Knights at Assumption High School in a MAC Conference basketball game. The Freshmen Kings were in a tight contest, and were leading by 4 points at the half. The Freshmen ended up being defeated 35-48. The Sophomore Kings played aggressively all night, were leading by 14 late in the game, and held on for the WIN, beating Assumption by a score of 48-46!! The Varsity Kings ran into a tough Assumption team and lost 51-76. The Kings are back in action this Friday night as they travel to Davenport North in another conference tilt. GO KINGS!!
The River Queen basketball team split in their games against Assumption last night and moved their record to 6-5. The Queens held the Knights scoreless in the 3rd Quarter helping to seal the victory 27-22. Kassidy Eggers was the leading scorer at 6 with 9 total players scoring for the Queens. The Varsity Queens lost a heart-breaker after playing solid offense and defense for most of the game but let the lead slip away in the final seconds to fall 42-41. Sattler led the Queens with 10 points while Fergurson and Haskell had 8. Haskell also had 6 assists and 5 steals. The Queens move to 4-7 and have been in position to win their last four games.
