While River Ridge didn't have the best season last year (they finished 10-17), it's starting to look like those struggles are a thing of the past. They came out on top against the Mitchell Mustangs by a score of 70-61 on Saturday. This was payback for the Royal Knights, who suffered an 82-58 loss the last time these two teams met.

When it comes to explaining why Mitchell lost, don't look at Tristan Woodroof. Despite the final result, he shot 55% from the field to rack up 27 points and five rebounds. With that strong performance, Woodroof is now averaging an impressive 15.9 points per game. Carson Peterson was another key player, putting up nine points.

The win made it two in a row for River Ridge and bumps their season record up to 5-2. Those victories came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 71.5 points over those games. As for Mitchell, they have been struggling recently as they've lost three of their last four games. That's put a noticeable dent in their 2-5 record this season.
