BOYS BASKETBALL | CLASS 2A RIVERDALE REGIONAL
3-POINT-SHOOTOUT
By TERRY DUCKETT
Special to Shaw Media PORT BYRON – Like it has all year long, the Rock Falls boys basketball team fought to the end in the Class 2A Riverdale Regional semifinal Feb. 23 against the host Rams. But trailing by double-digits at halftime, the Rockets couldn’t climb out of an early hole in a 71-47 Riverdale win. “We came out flat, they got the lead, and we tried to claw back,” Rock Falls coach Zach Sandrock said. “We fought like we have all year, but it was too little, too late.” Riverdale (25-6) scored the game’s first 11 points, then weathered a flurry of Rock Falls 3-pointers before pulling away. It put the Rams in position to win their first regional title in 10 years – and do it on their home court. “We haven’t won regionals here in awhile, and we want to be the team to do it,” Riverdale senior guard Brandon Stone said. “We think we’re ready for it.” Tallying 17 points and eight rebounds, Stone jump-started the Rams with 12 first-quarter points. 1602129018 1602129018 1602139012 1602201015 1602204006 1602204006 1602204006 1603209005 1603209005 1603213006 1603213006 1603213006 1603215001 1603217005 1603217005 1603231009 1603231009 1601326010 1601326010 1601326010 1601326010 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602313032 1602326002 1602326002 1602326002 1602421018 1603408042 1603408042 1603408042 1603408043 1603408043 1603408043 1603408043 1610400013 1611301030 1611301030 1611301030 1611301030 1614122007
Senior guard Andrew Meloan had six of his 10 points in the opening period, including a three-point play that capped the hosts’ opening 11-0 run. The Rockets (13-18) whittled that deficit to five, but 3-pointers by Stone and Meloan re-lit the Rams’ spark as they took a 23-7 lead after the first eight minutes. “We wanted to come out and show them this is our house,” Stone said. “Our crowd helped us a lot with momentum. With the first-round bye, we practiced hard this past week, and that prepared us for this.” Riverdale kept up its pace in the second period, taking a 36-17 lead at halftime after shooting 50% (14-for-28) from the floor in the first 16 minutes. “We had a slow start. Shots just didn’t fall early. I think we rushed a little too much at the beginning and let them dictate pace,” Sandrock said. “They’re a good ballclub, a good program. They’ve got a lot of shooters, a lot of guys who do a lot of stuff and strong role players, and they did their job tonight and controlled the pace.”
