RVMS On the Road Against Rice Lake

Riverview Middle School went on the road Thursday night to take on Rice Lake--the team that was predicted to be "our only competition" this year in school basketball. Rice Lake has always given us a good run, and Thursday night was no different! The Rice Lake game is always tough for Andrew and a few of his teammates because they played with these boys for quite a few years as teammates when they all played together on the Rice Lake League--it was nice to see that when the game was over, the boys were still able to shake hands and hug as friends.

Here is Andrew on the free-throw line, ready to sink it!

The game was VERY CLOSE through the entire game--at one point, we were down by a few baskets, and our guys were hanging their heads. I am happy to say that our guys stuck with it, though, and were able to pull off a victory in the end with a final score of Barron, 48, Rice Lake, 37.

CONGRATULATIONS, BARRON!!!

Our next game is Monday against Ladysmith. Ladysmith beat us last year, as our boys were feeling a bit overconfident, so I am hoping they play a bit harder this year!
