The Ririe Bulldogs are heading back to the state tournament after a 49-40 victory over North Fremont in the 3A District 6 tournament final. The Bulldogs’ streak of 10 straight state tournament appearances was snapped last season, making this year’s return particularly sweet. Coach Jake Landon praised his team’s balance, with eight different players contributing points in the victory. Ririe showcased their versatility with a mix of inside scoring and 3-pointers, emphasizing their team-oriented approach to the game.
