The Riverside Rebels got an up close and personal look at the top-ranked team in 1A at last weekend’s Bobcat Invitational. It did not go well as the Rebels struggled against Upton’s pressure defense and didn’t shoot well in the 67-18 setback.
“We were all disappointed,” said Coach Scott Winters. “Upton was a good team, but we should have been able to compete better than we did.”

The Riverside Lady Rebels won one and lost two at the Bobcat Invitational, falling to pair of ranked teams in Upton and Sundance before putting one on the positive side of the ledger with a rout of Arvada-Clearmont.
Coach Jason Mitchell views the weekend performance as a stepping stone toward better things.  The Rebels have only three players who saw extensive playing time last season: Brooklyn Paxton, Johnna Clifford and Vinaya Vanderploeg.
