If Calvary Baptist was riding high fresh off their 70-25 takedown of Crossroads Christian on Thursday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The Cougars were beaten by the Millikan Rams 115-56 on Friday. While losing is never fun, the Cougars can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 732nd, while the Rams are ranked 66th).
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Millikan to victory, but perhaps none more so than Quali Giran, who went 16-for-24 to rack up 40 points in addition to seven boards and five steals. That makes it three consecutive games in which Giran has scored at least a third of the Rams' points. Another player making a difference was Jeremiah Hunt, who dropped a double-double with 22 points and ten assists.

The Cougars will be up against the Cardinals' rather soft defense (which has allowed 68.07 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
