With fresh faces on the roster, the Riverhead boys basketball team is set on making the playoffs, regardless of what their record was last year<\/a>. Only one starter returns from last season\u2019s 4-15 squad, and the Blue Waves will look to build around him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AJ Austin came into the program mainly as a shooting guard but when no real floor general emerged amongst his peers, Riverhead head coach Elwood Lamb made him the starting point guard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe stepped up last year for what we needed out of him,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cBut it\u2019s his team this year. He\u2019s our leader. It\u2019s his time to carry the load.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There was a learning curve during Austin\u2019s junior season, as he had to adjust from being more scoring-focused to a pass-first type of player. He excelled in that role, Lamb said, but this year he\u2019s going to shift back to more of a two-guard. In a somewhat minimal scoring role last year, Austin averaged 7 points a game. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s our best player on both sides of the ball,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cOffensively and defensively he\u2019s very athletic. He\u2019s quick and we need him to be our spark plug. Get steals and get out in the open court and make good decisions for us.\u201d The emergence of a new point guard could spare Austin from most of the ball handling duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s not often a freshman makes the varsity team, but Anaiis Mitchell came into tryouts and instantly impressed. \u201cMitchell\u2019s a true point guard,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cHe\u2019s shown he has the capacity to make good decisions and handle the ball, but if the pressure gets too much for him we can always revert back to Austin or someone else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If not Mitchell or Austin, KJ Johnson got some experience at the varsity point last year, while Deshawn Watkins handled the ball on JV. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll see how it goes,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cThe first couple games we play will dictate a lot for the rest of the season.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Preston Swenk expects to have a bigger role this year as well. The senior forward should be cemented in one of the open spots in the lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI expect Swenk to be a 10-rebound, 6 to 8 points a game contributor for us this year,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cHe can hold his own on the block and will get crucial rebounds.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The starting five is very much up for grabs outside of Austin, Lamb says. Jaylen Harding might fit in one of those openings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHarding is one of the hardest-working kids on the team,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cHe gets things going with his toughness and competitiveness.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the excitement for the upcoming season stems from the 6-3 record the team posted in the fall league at Eastport-South Manor High School. It\u2019s the first time Riverhead participated in the fall league after typically only playing in the Town of Brookhaven\u2019s summer league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt helped us gel even closer as a team,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cThere\u2019s no selfishness on this team. It\u2019s different from the teams in the past. These kids trust and believe in each other and I think our chemistry will hopefully bring us to a playoff spot this year.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riverhead will play a handful of scrimmages before opening the season in a non-league game against Connetquot Dec. 6. The league season opens against Pat\u00adch\u00adogue-Medford Dec. 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBrentwood and William Floyd are definitely the big hitters this year,\u201d Lamb said. \u201cAfter them I feel like everyone is kind of even. We definitely have a chance to put together a strong season and get us back to where we were pre-COVID.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
