DeShawn Watkins led the way, as he\u2019s done all season long with 24 points and 10 rebounds in the win over Brentwood. Anaiis Mitchell added 15 points.

The most recent loss to Brentwood puts their league record at 3-6 and their overall record at 7-6. In order to make the playoffs Riverhead would need to win their last three games of the season against Central Islip (0-10, 0-8), William Floyd (7-8, 4-4) and Patchogue-Medford (4-12, 2-6). Riverhead will need to score to stay alive. Logan Pilon was the leading scorer on Tuesday with eight of the Blue Waves 18 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>Upcoming Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan. 27: Central Islip at Riverhead, 5 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan. 30: Riverhead at William Floyd, 4 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan. 18: Kings Park 51, Shoreham-Wading River 45<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For the first time all season, Shoreham-Wading River has suffered a loss after starting out the season with 13 straight wins. The loss against Kings Park puts their No. 1 seed in jeopardy, putting the Kingsmen only one game behind in the standings with a league record of 8-2. The Wildcats defeated Kings Park earlier in the year so if they win out, they\u2019ll be the league champions. Ashley Bell led the team in scoring against Kings Park with 18 points. The Wildcats fell behind 14-8 after the first quarter and just never caught up, despite winning the second quarter 12-10.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-vertical is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-8cf370e7 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<p><strong>Upcoming Schedule:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan. 28: SWR at Hampton Bays, 6:30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Jan. 30: Sayville at SWR, 4 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Boys Wrestling<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jan. 15: Patchogue-Medford 59,&nbsp;Riverhead 11<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Blue Waves matched up against the first-place team in the league and came away with only three wins as the team prepares for the individual tournaments at the end of the year.
