Jerry Kincel is now the Riverside boys' basketball all-time leading scorer - and counting - with every basket, free-throw and three-pointer he scores the rest of the season. The senior scored 30 points in an overtime win against Valley View two weeks ago and moved into first place on Riverside's all-time scoring list.
