The River Ridge Hawks will venture away from home to challenge the Bellarmine Prep Lions at 7:00 p.m. on Saturday. Hopefully River Ridge focused on turnovers this week as the team gave up 24 on Thursday.
Last Thursday, River Ridge came up short against Mount Tahoma and fell 87-79.
River Ridge's loss shouldn't obscure the performances of Ryzen Nunez, who went 9 for 16 en route to 23 points plus six rebounds, and Dominique Harper, who went 7 for 13 en route to 14 points plus eight rebounds and four blocks. Harper is on a roll when it comes to rebounds, as he's now pulled down eight or more in the last three games he's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Jacob Wendell, who earned five points in addition to nine assists and eight rebounds.
Even though they lost, River Ridge was working as a unit and finished the game with 25 assists. That's the most assists they've posted since back in December of 2023.
Meanwhile, Bellarmine Prep gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They claimed a resounding 84-31 victory over Capital. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Lions as it put an end to their five-game losing streak dating back to last season.
