It was an exciting night from start to finish for the River King boys last night at Davenport Central. The Freshman opened up handling the pressure from Central, up 10 at the half. The Kings extended their lead to 14 at one point in the game. A late surge was held off by the Kings as they were able to close off their season with a win, 37-35. The Sophomore Kings continued the night of exciting basketball in a back and forth battle. Down 1 at the half, the Kings ramped up the pressure in the third quarter, taking a 2 point lead into the 4th. A transition bucket by Central notched the game at 43, sending it to overtime. The Kings scored the first basket of overtime, but ended up losing by a score of 50-53. The Varsity team went into a hostile environment on Central's Senior night. Down 10-2 early, the Kings were able to weather the storm. In a back and forth 32 minute battle, a last second putback by Cooper Belitz lifted the Kings into a classic victory.
The River Kings Varsity team travels back to Davenport Central Monday night for their first round substate game. Please come support the Kings on the road as they head into what will be a great high school basketball environment. There is strength in numbers! GO KINGS!
