This past week, Riverbank High School athletes celebrated the New Year’s holiday, then finished up winter break with non-league preseason games on Friday, Jan. 3.
Both the Bruin boys and Lady Bruin soccer teams played home matches on a wet field, following midday rains. Basketball was also in action.

On the court, Riverbank had a home game on Friday, Jan. 3, falling 60-44 to the Lady Hawks of Liberty Ranch out of Galt. It was their first loss following five straight wins at home recently, and their lowest scoring game of the season.
