Girl's Basketball

The Riverview High School girls’ basketball team started last week off on the wrong foot, falling at Alonso 52-39. According to head coach Gerard Batista, Stephanie Garcia was the player of the game. She came off the bench with 16 points, including four 3-point shots.

Batista stated that they were unable to make shots or layups early in the game, putting the Sharks down 13 points, and were never able to make up the difference.

Two days later, however, The Sharks resumed their winning ways, dominating Gaither at the Cowboys’ gym 56-10.

Batista stated, “It was a good all-around team effort. Everyone was able to score and we played well together. We came out aggressive and shared the ball well.”
