Against Laramie, Riverton drilled eight 3-point shots paced by a pair each from Kade Gabrielsen, Darrick DeVries, and Parker Paxton. DeVries had a monster Friday tallying 22 against Laramie and 23 against the Pinedale Wranglers.
Riverton started slowly in their final two games, leading Laramie by just a pair of points before rolling in the second period by doubling the Plainsmen 22-11 behind an outside barrage of long-distance bombs.

Braden Vincent, DeVries, and Gabrielsen all hit from beyond the arc in the period and Paxton hit both of his as the Plainsmen weren’t able to handle Riverton’s quick ball movement in working to get the open perimeter shot.
After DeVries team leading 22 points, Dre’Vin Monroe tallied 13 with excellent play in the paint, and a trey. Paxton finished with 14 and Vincent 10.
Against Pinedale DeVries, Paxton and Gabrielsen all tallied double figures with 23, 20, and 11 points respectively.
Dre’Vin Monroe put up a shot in the key – {h/t Randy Tucker}
Tired legs or just unfocused play in the opening minutes had the South Bison leading Riverton early, but that quickly evaporated via a 14-0 Wolverine run that effectively put the game away. Paxton and Gabrielsen both hit 3-point shots during the run, and despite a pair of Cheyenne timeouts, the Wolverines remained in control for the rest of the contest.
