Sports action continues both home and away, as Riverbank High teams prepare for conference action soon.
This year the Trans-Valley League, of which Riverbank is a member, has a new alignment, with the addition of the Mountain House Mustangs. As it is a brand new high school, Mountain House will not be fielding a complete set of teams this school year, but is expected to start becoming competitive in the 2015-16 sessions.
The new league lineup will consist of Escalon, Ripon Christian, Hughson, Ripon, Modesto Christian (except for basketball), Hilmar, Mountain House and Riverbank.
