Despite their defeat, Wood saw several players rise to the challenge and make noteworthy plays. Amiyah Murry, who dropped a double-double on ten points and 15 rebounds, was perhaps the best of all. Murry is on a roll when it comes to boards, as she's now pulled down nine or more in the last five games she's played. Another player making a difference was Dixon, who posted eight points in addition to seven boards and five steals.
Even though they lost, Wood smashed the offensive glass and finished the game with 20 offensive boards. That strong performance was nothing new for the team: they've now pulled down at least eight offensive rebounds in eight consecutive contests.
Meanwhile, Sacramento lost to Roosevelt on the road by a 55-39 margin on Saturday. While losing is never fun, the Dragons can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 389th, while the Rough Riders are ranked 145th).
Wood's record is now 8-8. As for Sacramento, their record is now 10-5.
