The Riverdale Cowboys will head out on the road to take on the Liberty Hawks at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Neither Riverdale nor Liberty posted many points in their last games, so it might be the defenses that decide this one.
Riverdale will head into Tuesday's matchup out to bounce back: they won a close one the last time they played, but unfortunately they suffered a serious change of fortune on Tuesday. They were beaten by Caruthers 105-7. The defensive woes were uncharacteristic for the Cowboys, who until this game were averaging 29.94 points allowed.
Karen Ayala was Riverdale's leading scorer, having posted five points.
Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 64-21, which was the final score in Liberty's tilt against Parlier on Tuesday. While losing is never fun, the Hawks can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 1023rd, while the Panthers are ranked 331st).
Liberty has traveled a rocky road recently having lost six of their last seven contests, which put a noticeable dent in their 6-11 record this season. As for Riverdale, the loss snapped their winning streak at three games and leaves them with a 10-6 record.
