Riley Boys' Basketball RECAP

Thank you to the 7th graders for all their hard work this year. We did not necessarily have the season we wanted, but we made a slight run at the end of the season, and made it to the championship game of the consolation game! We made some strides as a team and everyone got better throughout the season. I am excited to see everyone come back out next year for 8th grade and dominate!  All of the kids made my first experience coaching at Riley a memorable one!

Thank you 7th grade!

~ Coach Zimmer

Thank you to the 8th graders. This year's basketball season was a fun one. We went 5-5 overall and had some really good wins! We had a great bunch of players on the basketball court this year, and many season highlights, including a fantastic win over Fox River Grove in the regular season - that was a fun game.

A Big thank you to Blake, Dominic, and Ryan for the 3 seasons of basketball they gave! The growth from all the players not just this year, but throughout their middle school years was incredible.

Our season sadly came to an end before we wanted it to, but it wasn’t because of effort. The kids worked hard all year, at each game, and were an absolute joy to coach!

Thank you 8th graders and I wish you the best of luck if you play high school basketball.
