RIDGWAY – The Ridgway high school boys basketball team remained perfect at 3-0 on the young 2015-16 season with a convincing 70-25 victory over the visiting Curwensville Golden Tide Friday night on the Elkers’ home floor.
The Elkers wasted little time jumping on the Tide, taking a 24-2 first quarter lead and then romping into the halftime break ahead 44-8.
Curwensville, now 0-3 on the year, was led by senior Noah Strickland with eight points.
The Tide did get good news though, as Jake Terry returned to the hardwood for the first time this season and scored four points. The senior was injured in the Tide’s final football game against Kane in the District 9 Class A semifinal battle.
Ridgway had three players in double figures as Jeremy Breier led all scorers hitting for a game high 20 followed by John Mitchell with 16 and Andy Breier with 11.
The Elkers will play Wednesday at home against visiting Brookville.
The junior varsity game was also won by Ridgway, 55-31. Devan Barrett with 14 and Christian Bakaysa with 12 paced the young Golden Tide.
The Golden Tide are home for its next encounter, on Tuesday, when they play the Black Knights of Moshannon Valley. Junior varsity tips off at 6 pm with the varsity to immediately follow.
