Hickman County topped Decatur County’s Riverside girls 75-52 in a district matchup at Hickman County on Saturday, Feb. 21, 2026, a result posted on a CoachT event listing and captured in a brief game note. The original note described the contest as one that “completed a district test for Riverside late in the regular season and will f” before the text was cut off.

Riverside’s official game note did not include individual player statistics for the Feb. 21 contest; the entry on CoachT and the short report supplied only the final score and the district context. That contrasts with the Lady Panthers’ earlier social-media recap of a different district game, which offered a full scoring breakdown and a team record.

Riverside’s Instagram account, @rhs_lady_panther_basketball, posted that “The Lady Panthers picked up a 52-47 victory over East Hickman tonight in the semifinals of the district tournament. The win puts the Lady Panthers in the district championship game on Saturday. The win also guarantees a home game on Friday, February 27 in the region quarterfinals.” The Instagram post listed quarter-by-quarter detail for the East Hickman game - tied 11-11 after the opening quarter, Riverside ahead 27-16 at halftime and leading 40-31 after three quarters - and provided scorers: “Alyssa Pratt 17, Lauren Camper 17, Bentley Rogers 12, Ella Davis 6,” with “3-pointers (3) - Rogers 2, Pratt.” That post also recorded the Lady Panthers’ record as “14-12” and announced the “Next game on Saturday at 4:00 in the district championship game at Lewis County High School.”

Separate coverage from MaxPreps appears to document the Riverside boys program and contains detailed player lines not tied to the girls Feb. 21 game. MaxPreps’ recap titled “# Basketball Recap: Riverside Falls Despite Big Games from Jack Cupples and Colt Brooks” and labeled “Boys varsity basketball highlights @ Camden on February 16, 2026” noted that “Riverside's loss came despite strong showings from Colt Brooks and Jack Cupples. Brooks shot 50% from the field on his way to 28 points, while Cupples dropped a double-double with 22 points and 13 rebounds. The matchup was Cupples' 18th in a row with at least 16 points. Aidan Lunsford was another key player, putting up four points.” That MaxPreps report also referenced an overtime loss to Perry County, 64-61, and listed a Riverside season mark of “10-14” in that boys recap.

Taken together, the material shows Riverside’s programs were active across district play: the girls’ schedule includes the 52-47 East Hickman semifinal (Instagram) and the 75-52 loss at Hickman County on Feb. 21 (CoachT listing), while MaxPreps documents high-output performances from boys players such as Colt Brooks and Jack Cupples in mid-February contests. The CoachT note for Feb. 21 supplies the final score but not a box score; Riverside’s Instagram supplies scoring detail for the East Hickman game and schedules a district-championship tip at Lewis County High School at 4:00 on Saturday, with a guaranteed region quarterfinal home date listed for Friday, February 27.
