The Riverdale Cowboys and the Alpaugh Buffalos will face off at 3:30 p.m. on Friday without much rest after finishing up games yesterday. Alpaugh took a loss in their last game and will be looking to turn the tables on Riverdale, who comes in off a win.
Riverdale gave their fans exactly what they wanted out of a home opener on Thursday. They breezed by Laton to the tune of 49-8. The win was a breath of fresh air for the Cowboys as it put an end to their six-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Riverdale relied on the efforts of Valeria Olguin, who scored 16 points, and Karen Ayala, who scored 11 points. The dominant performance also gave Olguin a new career-high in threes (four). Yoselin Duenaz was another key player, posting six points.
Meanwhile, Alpaugh had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell 40-30 to Kings Christian on Thursday. The Buffalos' loss continues a trend for the team, making it five in a row dating back to last season.
Everything came up roses for Riverdale against Alpaugh in their previous meeting back in December of 2023, as the squad secured a 53-18 victory. The rematch might be a little tougher for Riverdale since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
