Rivera had its chances, but a ball that consistently found the range over the first three quarters failed to respond for the Raiders in the closing minutes. We played 12 people against Rivera and we usually play 10 to 12, wearing people down. We have to put pressure on people to force turnovers, and rely on our quickness. It s been working so far since we have the best record in the Valley. Guzman had six 3-pointers in the victory over Rivera.
Hector is an excellent outside shooter.
He started last year as a sophomore. He makes everything go. We ve won over there before, so we know it can be done. Porter s tough, and they re playing very well. We re the defending champions, and we ll consider ourselves champions until somebody can take it from us.
