It\u2019s nice to see them slowly turn into basketball players. They\u2019ve been learning a lot these past years, and this year, you can tell they\u2019re confident out there. We have a ton of athletes and they\u2019re ready to win.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After going 1-18 two seasons ago, the Blue Waves improved to 4-13 last season. There was obvious upside from one year to the next but <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sectionxi.org\/v3\/Schedules.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this season<\/a> has been a complete 180. Through four games, Riverhead has already equaled its win total from last season starting a flawless 4-0, including an impressive 34-30 victory over Longwood last Tuesday at Riverhead High School. The games last year against Longwood weren\u2019t even close, as the Blue Waves lost by double digits both times. Things have really turned around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCoach Ghigliotti had been coaching us up for years now and has never backed down from a challenge,\u201d senior guard Logan Pilon said. \u201cHe really put things together this year. Practices are always about how to react in certain game situations. We\u2019re keeping up our energy in practice and never slowing down. I think we\u2019re winning because we\u2019re just in better shape and can keep up with anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blue Waves led the entire way against Longwood, controlling possession, keeping up the intensity and draining baskets when they needed to. Pilon led the way in scoring with 10 points. She knocked down two early three-pointers that set the tone for the rest of the game. Fellow longtime varsity teammate Adriana Martinez chipped in 9, and Jordyn Kwasna added 8, including a three point basket that served as the final dagger down the stretch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t have those technical basketball players that have been playing their whole lives like other schools,\u201d Ghigliotti said. \u201cWhat we have is a lot of great athletes, who love competing \u2014 who love playing fast and making reactionary plays \u2014 and we\u2019re letting them do that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another major piece to this season&#8217;s hot start has been adding a forward to play alongside Kyleigh Lennon, who has been the team\u2019s main rebounding threat for the last two years. With one day left before tryouts ended, Brooke Andresen showed up at the gym after transferring from Shoreham-Wading River. She was recently part of the soccer team there that made it to the New York State Final Four. Originally from Riverhead, Andresen wanted to graduate with her childhood friends. The senior has played essentially every minute this season, making an impact from the center position. She scored three points, hauled in seven rebounds and snatched three steals in the win over Longwood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBrooke has been a major addition to the squad,\u201d Ghigliotti said. \u201cI didn\u2019t know much about her at first but right away I knew she had game. She\u2019s played varsity basketball with Shoreham, so she\u2019s got experience. She\u2019s a great athlete and gives us some size on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Defense has been the theme early in the season. The only way to defeat the teams Riverhead had trouble with over the years is to force them into taking bad shots and give up turnovers. The Blue Waves came away with 16 steals against Longwood. Martinez led the team with seven as her instincts put her right into the passing lanes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe spent the first three days of practice just doing defensive drills,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cDefense wins games \u2014 we all know that. We have the athletes to be able to run the entire game and press and keep the intensity level high. When the other team gets tired, we keep going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the momentum on their side, Riverhead will travel to Central Islip (0-4) on Thursday to try to surpass last year\u2019s win total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe can compete with any team in the league,\u201d Ghigliotti said. \u201cWe\u2019re not going to out-basketball anyone. But what we can do is trap, work together, work hard the whole game and make shots when we can. We\u2019re building some confidence and you can see it. Most of these girls have been on varsity for many years. It\u2019s their time now.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kevin Ghigliotti spent three years on the bench as an assistant to former Riverhead girls varsity basketball coach Cherese Foster.
