On Wednesday Manuel Ortega made a splash, dropping a double-double on 25 points and ten rebounds. It looks like he has Beyer's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the matchup was his fourth in a row with 15 or more points. This year, Ortega has averaged 16 points, 1.7 steals, and 7.2 rebounds per match.
Ortega and Ceres will head out on the road to take on Pacheco at 7:15 p.m. on Friday. Ceres got just the result they wanted when they last faced Pacheco, probably because Ortega had a great game then too: he shot 4-for-9 from downtown and dropped a double-double on 28 points and ten rebounds. Can he match (or beat) that stellar performance? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
