While the Rams’ offensive pace slowed, the defense held the Cardinals scoreless for more than four minutes to help grow their lead to 25-15. A run of 12-4 to close the first half sent the Rams to the locker room up 20 at 39-19. Graham topped the first half scoring with 11.

The junior guard would add eight in the third as Riverside maintained their lead at the end of three quarters, 54-34.

Graham topped the scoring tally with 28, and seniors Daniel Schneider and Jake Gaffaney had eleven each.

Riverside now travels to eighth-ranked Quincy for a 6:00 tip on Saturday, with the victor claiming one of 16 state tournament tickets.
