Riverbank's utility infielder Vanessa Rossas, here playing short stop, takes a throw at second base in an attempt to put out an Escalon base stealer. Despite her efforts, the runner was safe, and the Lady Cougars came out on top in the end, 13-0, in five innings. It was the last game of the 2019 season for the Lady Bruins, and, at home, celebrated Senior Night recognition. Ric McGinnis/The News

While most Riverbank students are getting ready to put away those school books, RHS athletes are hanging up their spikes, gloves, bats and cleats. The 2019 spring sports season is in the record books.

And while both Track and Field and Tennis teams were competing in section and divisional tournaments, those playing on diamonds were wrapping up their seasons with their final home games, and recognition of senior teammates.

It was the final game of the 2019 softball season, and seniors were recognized by the team and the Bruins Boosters. This year, Valenzuela was the only senior playing softball. Ric McGinnis/The News
