‘Tis the season, so to speak, where the winter sports schedule gets revved up and Riverbank High athletes get to take part in some preseason games. This is the season that brings both boys and girls basketball as well as boys and girls soccer, plus wrestling.

Here is a look at some of the upcoming action.

Bruin Soccer

Riverbank boys get to start things off this week, with a scrimmage set for Friday, Nov. 14, hosting Grace Davis High School from Modesto. The varsity game is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. They’ll scrimmage at Oakdale on Tuesday, Nov. 18. Their Mother Lode League season starts on Tuesday, Jan. 6, hosting Big Valley Christian from Modesto.

Girls soccer hosts their first scrimmage against Davis High School next Tuesday, Nov. 18, at 5:30 p.m., and travels to Modesto High School the next day.

Bruin Basketball

Riverbank boys have hit the courts in practice sessions, with their first non-league games starting on Friday, Nov. 21, hosting Enochs High School from Modesto. There are lots of preseason contests coming up, including a number of tournaments to attend, but the Mother Lode League season doesn’t start until the first week of January, well after the holidays.

The Riverbank girls will be playing a similar schedule to the boys, with preseason games and tournaments starting on Saturday, Nov. 22, on the road.
