Sonora has enjoyed a three-game homestand but will soon have to dust off their road jerseys. They will challenge the Sunny Hills Lancers at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. Both teams took a loss in their last game, so they'll have plenty of motivation to get the 'W'.

Meanwhile, Sunny Hills unfortunately witnessed the end of their three-game winning streak on Saturday. They fell 70-60 to Huntington Beach. Despite running the score up even higher than they did on Friday (59), Sunny Hills still had to take the loss.

Those eight rebounds set a new season-high mark for him. Another player making a difference was Nathan Sanchez, who scored 11 points along with five assists.
Even though they lost, Sunny Hills were working as a unit and finished the game with 13 assists. They easily outclassed their opponents in that department as Huntington Beach only racked up four assists.
