Rancho Cucamonga facing must-win situation against Upland tonight

The Rancho Cucamonga boys’ basketball team has been overshadowed by fellow Baseline League members Etiwanda and Upland, but the Cougars can leap back into the league race with a victory over visiting Upland at 6:30 tonight/Friday.

Rancho Cucamonga (16-6, 3-2) lost by two points the last time it played the Highlanders on Jan. 8. Nick Bennett and Rashad Bowie, both good-sized senior guards, and Teminiro E-nunu, a 6-8 senior center, are the main figures for the Cougars.

E-nunu will have his hands full with Kevin Bradshaw, a 6-8 forward for Upland, but I have a feeling Rancho Cucamonga will take advantage of its home-court advantage and win a close one.
