The Riverside Panthers boys basketball team was defeated by Beaver Falls 68-39 Tuesday night. Senior basketball players and cheerleaders were recognized as part of senior night festivities prior to the tip-off.

Jalen Vaughn (22 points) and Gage McKelvey (21 points) led the offensive output for Beaver Falls (9-11 overall).
For Riverside (9-10 overall, 3-8 Section 3A-1), the loss dips them just one game below .500 but the Panthers will look to rebound this Friday when they travel to Ellwood City for its rivalry rematch with the Wolverines.
