Game Details - Boys Basketball

At halftime, it looked like Riverton–which entered Friday evening undefeated in Region 3 and ranked third in the 6A RPI–was heading towards an upset defeat to Herriman. The Silverwolves trailed by 19 points and couldn’t manage to get any of their shots to fall. Riverton, however, didn’t decide to hang it up after the first two quarters, as it came out of the halftime break looking like a new team. The Silverwolves outscored the Mustangs 45-25 in the second half (including 30-15 in the third quarter), to secure a narrow 64-63 victory and remain undefeated in region play. Despite the second half surge, Heriman had four chances to win on the last possession of the game, but couldn’t get the shots to fall. Senior Jaxon Kerekes led the way for Riverton, scoring 24 points on three made 3-pointers. Zach Edwards and Logan Dunfield also chipped-in 14 points apiece for the Silverwolves, who improved to 15-4. "I didn't recognize my team in the first half. Herriman played great and you could tell they were really motivated to win. I just told our guys at halftime that this was the first time all year that it was obvious the other team really wanted it more than us. I told them whatever happens, to make sure that wasn't the case by the end of the game, and somehow we found a way to win,” Riverton coach Skyler Wilson said.
