What to know
Athens has already faced River Valley once before. The two last met on Jan. 29 in Bidwell, where Athens won its first road game of the season 57-46 and snapped a three-game losing streak.
Despite River Valley's record being one of the worst in the TVC-Ohio, it has played fairly well while on the road against conference opponents. Both of River Valley's conference wins have come on the road. Athens' season is winding down, and it has the chance to be .500 in conference play for the first time this season. If it can beat River Valley again, it will be in good shape heading into the final stretch of its schedule.
