The Riverside boys basketball team forced 12 first half turnovers and jumped on top of Heartland Christian, ultimately grabbing a 55-20 win on Thursday night in Oakland. The Bulldogs led 18-6 at the end of the first quarter and were up 15 at halftime. That lead continued to swell to 44-18 by the end of the third.

Riverside turned a number of those forced turnovers into layups on the other end to really pull away. Grady Jeppesen led the Bulldogs with 15 points and Aiden Bell dropped in 10. Riverside is now 2-3 after back-to-back wins and will next host Underwood on Tuesday.

Heartland Christian was led by 7 points each from Jim Kunkle and Colton Brennan. The Eagles fall to 2-3 and will host Essex on Monday.
