The Orestimba Warriors will challenge the Ripon Indians at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday.
Orestimba is headed into the game out to prove that what happened against Sonora on Friday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Orestimba was beaten by Sonora 67-35. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 915th, while the Wildcats are ranked 374th).
Meanwhile, Ripon waltzed into their matchup on Friday with two straight wins... but they left with three. They walked away with a 62-54 win over the Riptide.
Ripon has been performing well recently as they've won six of their last eight contests, which provided a nice bump to their 9-8 record this season. Those victories came thanks to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.1 points per game. As for Orestimba, they dropped their record down to 5-9 with the loss, which was their third straight on the road.
Orestimba might still be hurting after the 73-53 defeat they got from Ripon when the teams last played back in December of 2015. Thankfully for Orestimba, Aaron Paschini (who went 5 for 8 on his way to 14 points and six steals) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result?
