It was the second time this season the Varsity River Kings football team had to wait out a lengthy weather delay, but this time the result was much more positive as the Kings dominated Maquoketa 35-14. The offense was again powered by Ethan Carpenter’s 179 rushing yards and two touchdowns. Carpenter was not alone, though, as he got plenty of help. Konnor Schroeder added a 35 yard touchdown run and an 11 yard touchdown pass to Marshall Johnson. Nolan Eggers rounded out the Kings scoring with a goal line touchdown in the fourth quarter. Defensively, the Kings were stout all night. Jay Dodd gathered two interceptions for the Kings who improved their record to 3-1 on the season. They begin district play on Friday night in Burlington. Be sure to congratulate our young men. Go Kings!!
On Friday night, the Sophomore River Kings hosted the Cardinals from Maquoketa in a gridiron football matchup. Despite being a close game at halftime, the Kings held the Cardinals scoreless in the second half and pulled away securing the WIN by a score of 36-12! Scoring early for the Soph Kings was Julian Davis on a 65 yard TD run. Later in the 1st quarter, Micah Tague returned a kickoff 78 yards for a score! In the second half, Liam Petersen lofted a 31 yard touchdown pass to Davis, and added a 41 yard bomb to Isaiah Lines for another score. Petersen later added a one-yard dive to complete the scoring. The Soph Kings moved their record to 3-1. We are back in action on Friday as we travel to Burlington to battle the Greyhounds! Thank you to everyone who came out to support the Kings on Friday!!! GO KINGS!!!
The Sophomore volleyball team traveled to the Bettendorf Tournament on Saturday. THe Queens came in with high expectations, and finished the tournament in 2nd place. The Queens dropped their first match to host Bettendorf, but played some consistent volleyball going forward as they defeated Moline and Davenport North in pool play. They entered bracket play as the 2-seed and defeated the number 1-seed in pool B, North Scott in straight sets. Although the team battled hard in the Championship match, they came up a little short and finished as runner up. Great Job Soph's! The varsity held their annual home tournament this past weekend. The Queens finished in 4th place, making the Gold bracket and finishing 3-3 of the 9 team draw. Joselyn Petersen led the Queens offense with 36 total kills on 94 total attacks. Maggie House and Mal Byrns followed with 23 and 17 kills, respectively. Haylee House led the Queen setters with 35 assists, followed by Vanessa Hensel's 32 assists. Kylie Schroeder led the Queens with 6 aces from the service line. Harlow Miller led the Queens' front defensive line with 8 assist blocks, followed by Petersen's 1 solo and 6 assist blocks.

The Sophomore volleyball team traveled to the Bettendorf Tournament on Saturday. THe Queens came in with high expectations, and finished the tournament in 2nd place. The Queens dropped their first match to host Bettendorf, but played some consistent volleyball going forward as they defeated Moline and Davenport North in pool play. They entered bracket play as the 2-seed and defeated the number 1-seed in pool B, North Scott in straight sets. Although the team battled hard in the Championship match, they came up a little short and finished as runner up. Great Job Soph's! The varsity held their annual home tournament this past weekend. The Queens finished in 4th place, making the Gold bracket and finishing 3-3 of the 9 team draw. Joselyn Petersen led the Queens offense with 36 total kills on 94 total attacks. Maggie House and Mal Byrns followed with 23 and 17 kills, respectively. Haylee House led the Queen setters with 35 assists, followed by Vanessa Hensel's 32 assists.

The River Queens Volleyball team traveled to DeWitt for a rescheduled MAC meeting on Thursday night. The sophomores started in a hole, down by as much as 10 points in the first set. The effort was outstanding, but they just couldn't finish the first set, losing 24-26. Unfortunately, the Sophomore Queens never came out of the slump as they were swept, losing set two 17-25 and set three 21-25. Audry Gruhn led the Queens offensive output with 11 kills on 31 swings. Phoebe Levine had the hot hand as the setter, dishing out 15 total assists on the night. Jaedyn Jordan led the River Queens with an impressive 17 digs in the match. The varsity Queens came out of the all important MAC showdown very slow, dropping the first set but rebounded nicely to win the second set. The third set was a repeat of the Queens struggles from the first set as they committed too many errors to compete. The fourth set was a barn burner, as Clinton held a late 23-17 lead, only to give away and drop the final set 25-27. The Queens dropped the match, 1-3. Maggie House led a balanced offensive attack with 8 kills and a team high 5 aces on 17 attempts. Alaina Carpenter assisted on 17 of the teams' 28 kills. Tenley Cewe led the back row with 12 digs, a career high, while Carpenter followed suit with 11 digs. Maggie House passed an impressive 2.66 (on a 3-scale) passer rating.
