Yesterday, the River King and River Queen Varsity Bowling Teams attended the MAC Conference Tournament. The River Kings were in second place prior to entering the bracket play and fought their way through brackets and were able to defend their MAC Conference Championship from last year and took 1st Place. The River Queens were in first place before entering bracket but lost a close match to North Scott in the first round. They fought hard in the consolation bracket and won and came home with a 3rd Place finish. Great job Kings and Queens. The girls will attend their State Qualifying meet in Decorah on Monday and the Boys will attend their State Qualifying meet in Keokuk on Tuesday. Good luck to both teams at their meets!
Last night, the River Kings traveled to Maquoketa to take on the Cardinals in a non-conference battle. The Sophomores started the night off with a solid win, their third of the season, defeating Maquoketa 66-33. The Sophomore squad was led by Blayn Robinson who scored 17 points. Helping the effort were Jordan Gruhn and Kayden Brannum who both poured in 14 points each. The Varsity Kings were in a battle from the opening tipoff--It was a close game for all four quarters! The Kings pulled to within 5 points late in the 4th quarter but could not overcome the Cardinal's lead and lost the game 61-68. Leading the charge for the Kings were Jordan Coleman who scored a team high 22 points and added 10 rebounds, Marshall Johnson with 15 points, and Cole Johnson with 12 points. The Kings are back in action tonight at home with a MAC matchup against Davenport Assumption in Yourd Gym. The Freshmen get things started with a 4:30pm tipoff. Come out and start your weekend right by cheering on the KINGS! GO KINGS!!!
