…lookin for hoops to steal!

The Cougs are 23-7 after taking the NCS D2 title, and Riordan is 21-6 after winning the CCS D1 title.

The two met earlier this season at Gridley, Campo grabbing the win by 3..

Should be a terrific battle…
 
Thread title is a little deceiving for a quick second I thought game was played earlier......Should be a good one down to the wire and Campo typically wins those.

I am about to walk into CCC for Salesian vs Serra. Might be over quickly if Serra can't keep in front of these guys similar to SRV game vs Salesian.

As I mentioned during the Cougs-Las Lomas game Saturday, starting Cougs point gusrd Tyler Bergen injured his knee with some 3 minutes to go…

As it turns out, he cannot go tonight…. A big obstacle for the Cougs…
