River Drowns Paden City

By Ed Parsons - Editor | Jan 29, 2025

The River Pilots made things look easy on Wednesday night, January 22, in Paden City as they took down the Cat’s 75-23 behind a trio of double figure scorers. Leading the way for the Pilots was hot shooting guard Evan Longwell with 16 points, followed by seniors Derek Smith and Peyton Blue with 10. River knocked down a total of 12 3’s on the night with Longwell hitting for five of them, while Smith and Blue each hit two from long range.

Paden City’s points were few and far between as the Pilots had their way over the Cat’s. Paden City had trouble with turnovers and finding the basket, and were outrebounded by 18. The loss drops the Wildcats to 2-6 on the season. Only two Paden City players hit the score book with Jessup Higgins scoring 12 and Brayden Neff scoring 11 points. Both players hit three shots from behind the arc.
