The El Camino Wildcats will take on the Del Norte Nighthawks in a tournament on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this contest.
El Camino had to start their season on the road on Friday, and it wasn't the start they were hoping for. They were outmatched by Torrey Pines and fell 83-41. The Wildcats were in a tough position after the first half, with the score already sitting at 43-19.
Meanwhile, Del Norte suffered their closest loss since December 27, 2024 on Tuesday. They fell just short of Olympian by a score of 60-57.
El Camino will need to focus on slowing down Oliver Cooper, one of several Del Norte players who made an impact when they last played. He went 7-for-9 en route to 19 points and seven boards. Riley Farrokhi was another key player, shooting 71% from the field to rack up 12 points in addition to six rebounds and five assists.
El Camino ended up a good deal behind Del Norte in their previous meeting back in December of 2022, losing 78-61. Can the Wildcats avenge their defeat or is history doomed to repeat itself? We'll find out soon enough.
