Riverbank’s varsity football Bruins hosted their second home game on the new facility at Angelo Novi Stadium on Friday, Sept. 18. They hosted the Linden Lions, but the result resembled the outcome of the game the week before, the independent Bruins taking a loss.

RHS did score, near the end of the first quarter, leaving the score 21-6 at the time, following a missed point after attempt. The frame ended at 28-6.

Though the Bruins found some success with their passing game, making some gains in the second quarter, the half ended with the host team down 35-6.

The third quarter ended 42-6 and the game wrapped up at 49-6. The JV score ended with a 40-0 loss to the Junior Lions.

Next up for Riverbank is a home game welcoming the Brookside Christian Knights of Stockton this Friday, Sept. 25. Game times are 5:30 p.m. for the junior varsity, with a 7:30 p.m. start scheduled for the varsity contest.
