Riverview girls still chasing Huron League title By HANK MINCKIEWICZ For the first four minutes of its game at Grosse Ile on Feb. 5, it looked like the Riverview girls basketball team was going to have itself a laugher for a change. The fired-up Bucs came out and looked like they were going to blow the archrival Red Devils right off their home court. Riverview scored the first 15 points of the game and held Grosse Ile scoreless for half of the first quarter. But the Devils took a deep breath, got their inside game working and set about chopping into Riverview’s formidable lead. After being outscored 19-11 in the first quarter, Grosse Ile won the second, third and fourth quarters. The Devils caught the Bucs late in the fourth and eventually tied the game at 40-all. Grosse Ile had a chance to win the game with 3.4 seconds left to play in regulation, but the Devils

missed two free throws. In the extra period, Riverview made 5-of-6 free throws and outscored Grosse Ile 5-3 to walk off the court with a hard-fought, bruising 45-43 victory. With the two teams combining for 30 first-quarter points it looked like the game was going to develop into an offensive fireworks show, but that never materialized. Instead, the game became a grunting slugfest. Loose balls, collisions, bodies on the floor and dozens of held balls turned the game into a bit of a wrestling match. Grosse Ile, being the bigger team and favoring the physical play, got the better of much of it, but Riverview’s big girl in the middle, Avery Westbay, more than held her own with the tall, wide Grosse Ile players. Westbay was a force on defense and she was second on SEE GIRLS, Page 20
