The Riverside Beavers will take on the Solon Comets at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Riverside is headed into the game having just suffered their biggest defeat since December 17, 2024 on Saturday. They came up short against Villa Angela-St. Joseph, falling 76-53.
The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Drew Brown, who posted eight points and ten boards. Colin Durkin was another key player, putting up ten points.
Meanwhile, Solon sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 70-68 victory over Hudson on Thursday. Given the Comets' advantage in MaxPreps' Ohio basketball rankings (they are ranked 143rd, while the Explorers are ranked 406th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Solon is on a roll lately: they've won seven of their last nine contests. That's provided a massive bump to their 12-10 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 67.7 points over those games. Riverside's loss dropped their record down to 15-7.
Riverside came up short against Solon in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, falling 82-70. Can Riverside avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
