With losses to Shullsburg and Albany/Monticello last week, coach Veronica Zinkle and her River Ridge girls basketball team has had a tough start to their Six Rivers West conference schedule.
After beginning the season with two non-conference victories to start the season at 2-0, the Timberwolves are off to an 0-2 start in conference play.
