The River Queens basketball team hosted Bettendorf last night in Yourd Gym. The JV Queens were victorious in a very solid game on both ends.

Kassidy Eggers added 7 boards as well and Haskell added 3 steals. The Varsity Queens met a very quick and aggressive Bettendorf team. The Queens came out fired up and ready having a lead early on but the Bulldog pressure was too much to handle as the young Queens struggled to score and find a groove and although had opportunities struggled to score. Aubrey Fergurson continued her beast mode in rebounding and ended up with 15 boards with Carryn Satter and Lilly Hankins added 4 each also. The 2-2 Queens are at North Scott on Friday and are hoping to find that groove and get back on track.

The Kings are back in action Friday night as they travel to take on the North Scott Lancers. The Sophomore Kings tipoff at 4:30pm. Come and support your CHS River Kings!!
