The Riverland Community College men’s basketball team showed its depth as it beat Bethany Lutheran JV 95-71 in Mankato Tuesday.

The Blue Devils (4-2 overall) were missing three starters, but Southland grad James Landherr stepped up by hitting his first three 3-pointers and scoring 14 points and Austin grad Mark Manyuon chipped in six points and three assists.

“We had some great performances out of guys who haven’t stepped up yet this year,” RCC head coach Derek Hahn said.
