The Sonora Wildcats had already won seven in a row (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 20.4 points), and they went ahead and made it eight on Friday. They secured a 47-41 W over Argonaut. That result was just more of the same for these two, as Sonora also won the last time the pair played on January 12th.
Sonora's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Jonathan Curran led the charge by scoring 15 points. Another player making a difference was Roger Edwards, who scored nine points along with eight rebounds and four steals.
