Riverton has a knack for performing well in tight contests, entering Friday’s match with a 5-1 record in games within five points. That and an undefeated region record had the Silverwolves traveling to Copper Hills Friday with a lot of confidence. But as the final buzzer sounded, it was the Grizzlies celebrating the win. “We did a great job against a very tough team at playing together on both ends of the court,” Copper Hills coach John Watkins said. Riverton entered the fourth quarter trailing by seven, but could never find enough momentum to take down the Grizzlies despite 20 points from Jaxon Kerekes. Copper Hills was led by Logan Weidauer’s double-double, with 27 points and 10 rebounds. With the win, the Grizzlies not only denied Riverton the chance to lock up the region title, but stay within two games of the region leading Silverwolves with just two games to play before the state tournament.
