Game Details - Girls Basketball

After losing its last two games, Mountain Ridge drew close to a third consecutive loss trailing Riverton, 36-34, going into the fourth quarter. Instead, the Sentinels pulled together and pushed ahead to claim their third win in Region 3. Freshman Kya Newton led all scorers as she paced Mountain Ridge with 16 points, including two 3-pointers. Senior Hannah Shinall led Riverton with 12 points. "It was a hard fought battle by both teams. Riverton is a good basketball program and we knew we had our work cut out for us. I thought we did a good job executing on the defensive end and hit some big shots in key moments down the stretch. Proud of the girls and how hard they played," Mountain Ridge coach Kenzie Newton said.
