WINTER SPORTS UPDATE
This year the Snowboarding Team is doing quite well, and we are very proud of our kids.
There have only been three competitions to date, and Riverdale has scored in the top three in all three competitions.
Riverdale’s Swim Team (in its first year) heads to Districts this weekend.
Riverdale's first year of competitive swimming has been a huge success. The team has competed against mostly 5A schools, and with only 14 athletes Riverdale typically is the top team at the touch.
The team looks to add more swimmers next year; with only three graduating seniors things are looking great for Riverdale swimming.

The team has done an incredible job this inaugural year. They practice 7-8:15am – (YES; A.M.!!) -- four mornings a week; their dedication is admirable---their improvement inspiring!
BASKETBALL
BOYS JV AT 1:00 PM
GIRLS V AT 2:30 PM
BOYS V AT 4:00 PM
With a win, the Girls team will clinch at least a share of their first ever Northwest League title, as they currently sit at 13-2 in league play. The Boys program (7-9 in league), following a strong second half surge, has climbed into a three way tie for the last play-off spot, and need a victory to ensure their place in the Northwest League tournament next week.
In addition to all of the great basketball being played, we will also be honoring all winter sport senior athletes and their parents for their continued dedication to the Riverdale Athletic Program just prior to the Boys Varsity tip off at 4:00 pm.
Please be sure to come out and support our teams as they continue their quest for their state playoff berths.

The Mock Trial Regional Competition is quickly approaching.
Riverdale High School will send two teams (Riverdale Blue and Riverdale White) to compete in the Regional Mock Trial Competition:
Saturday, February 26, 2011 at the Multnomah County Circuit Court House.
Riverdale's teams are coached by humanities teacher, Jeff Brown, and volunteer attorney coaches: Kohl Haver, Reb Babcock, Steve West, Marilyn Podemski, and David Degne. In addition to the attorney coaches, we have Riverdale alums Jamie Babcock ’03 and Bonnie Degner ’06 coming back and helping out this year. Both Jamie and Bonnie were in mock trial while students at Riverdale. Jamie is now a practicing attorney and Bonnie was part of the mock trial team who won State in April 2005.
This year’s case is State of Oregon v. Willy Freeman.
Frost is dead. She was a partner in a restaurant and was found frozen in the restaurant’s cooler. There was a history of gambling problems and outstanding loans. Was it murder or just bad luck?

The Oregon Mock Trial Program is run by the Classroom Law Project (CLP), a nonprofit organization comprised of educators, lawyers and civic leaders. CLP helps students at all levels learn to be informed and active citizens who can foster, sustain and preserve a free democratic society.
