Wednesday's game
No. 11 Miramonte, Orinda, (16-12) vs. No. 7 Monterey (24-3) at CSU-Monterey Bay, 7 p.m.
The Toreadores can't be too pleased about having their game moved six miles up the coast to CSU-Monterey Bay.
Granted, it's a nicer facility. But Monterey's century old gym is clearly a home court advantage. Then again, two of its three losses this season came on the ancient court.
Emotions spilled out after the Toreadores won the programs first ever Central Coast Section Division III title last week.
Now comes the hard part. Refocusing for a potential run in the state tournament. Kobe Ordonio was possessed in the CCS playoffs with 29 and 34 point efforts.
The fab four in sophomores Mohammed Adam, Evans Charles, Tahjae Ordonio and Mohanid Adam all lived up to the hype in the postseason with valuable contributions.
The Matadors are just 4-5 in their last nine games, falling in the North Coast Section playoffs. They do have size that could present problems for Monterey.
Team captain Charlie Hocking stands 6-foot-7 while teammate Sam Foster is 6-5. Monterey offset Saratoga's size in the CCS title game with an aggressive defense.
This is just Monterey's second appearance in the State Northern California playoffs, and its first in 27 years.
