The Ray Bearcats will be defending their home court for the first time this season when they go up against the Salome Frogs at 6:00 p.m. on Friday. Ray will be strutting in after a win while Salome will be coming in after a loss.
Ray is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against San Manuel. The Bearcats put the hurt on the Miners with a sharp 60-40 victory on Wednesday. The Bearcats haven't had any issues with the Miners recently, as the game was their fifth consecutive win against them.
Meanwhile, Salome unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a hard 57-41 fall against Wickenburg on Thursday. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it 11 in a row.
Ray came up short against Salome in their previous matchup back in December of 2023, falling 51-42. Thankfully for the Bearcats, Jibran Castillo (who shot 46% from the field to rack up 29 points in addition to six steals and five rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
