Meanwhile, it's never fun to lose, and it's even less fun to lose 61-30, which was the final score in Rancho Bernardo's tilt against Sage Creek last Wednesday.

Mt. Carmel came up short against Rancho Bernardo when the teams last played back in February, falling 62-50. Thankfully for Mt. Carmel, Cameron Wood (who shot 5-for-6 from beyond the arc and dropped a double-double on 26 points and 10 rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
