“Tonight, we were a little short-handed without Lane Willoby and John Zumberger, but that’s not a good enough excuse for the way we played,” Riverside coach Seth Bodenmiller said. “We came out flat and it took us a while to get going and for shots to start falling. While we didn’t play great basketball in the first half, we were pretty confident that we were going to compete since we were only down six.

“In the second half, we started settling for low-percentage jump shots and gave up a ton of offensive rebounds, and Ansonia made us pay for them.”

Kyle Knight led the Pirates with 13 points and eight rebounds while Kameron Schlumbohm scored 11 and Wyatt Auflick added eight.
