During the 2018-19 boys’ basketball season at Southwestern, Rieken averaged a team-high 13.3 points per game for the Wildcats, as well as 4.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists.

Leading the D5 Red team was Justin Kuehl of Hustisford with 21 points, while Colton Schraepfer and Jaden Hendrickson, both of Pecatonica, each finished with four points, and Barneveld’s Malcolm Reed added three.
