The Four Rivers boys basketball team’s impressive run in the River Valley Athletic League tournament came to a close on Thursday in Hardwick. 

Taking on Eagle Hill in the RVAL championship game, it was host Eagle Hill that raced out to a 38-14 halftime lead to take command. The Otters powered forward in the second half but the run fell just short as Four Rivers dropped a 68-57 decision.

Isaiah Goleman led the way with 21 points for the Otters, 17 coming in the second half. Caleb Bird-Richards tallied 14 points, Kolin Broderick recorded eight points, Cooper Whitney recorded seven points and senior Alex Pawell had four points in the loss.
