The Montgomery Aztecs will face off against the La Jolla Country Day Torreys at 2:10 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this game.
On Saturday, Montgomery ended up a good deal behind Mission Bay and lost 65-48.
Loss or not, Montgomery got some senior leadership from Xavier Guerrero and DK Montgomery. Guerrero almost dropped a double-double with nine points and ten boards, while Montgomery shot 50% from the field on his way to 15 points in addition to six rebounds and three steals. The team also got some help courtesy of Dereck Beltran, who posted 11 points.
Meanwhile, La Jolla Country Day had to hit the road for their first game and it wasn't the result they were hoping for. They fell 58-47 to St. Augustine on Thursday. The matchup was a 32-32 toss-up at halftime, but the Torreys couldn't quite close it out.
Montgomery took their win against La Jolla Country Day in their previous matchup back in November of 2023 by a conclusive 54-32 score. Will the Aztecs repeat their success, or do the Torreys have a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
