ORANGEVALE, CA (MPG) - It was an exciting week of fun and festivity for Casa Roble High School as they celebrated ‘Casaba’ aka homecoming for the basketball season. The student body participated in a fun spirit week, culminating with a big student rally getting the basketball team fired up for the Friday night games against Woodland.

The stands were packed, the cheerleaders cheered, the band played and all the teams dominated, defeating Woodland on all levels: Varsity Boys: 71-28, JV Boys 63-43, and Freshman Boys: 65-35. The girls teams also kept the streak alive playing away at Woodland with Varsity girls finishing 55-35 and JV girls 37-10.

Three players scored 13 points each including Moses Oginni, Travis Remly and Sophomore Benny Ambriz who also had 6 rebounds and was named “Player of the Game”.

“We are coming together at the right time,” said Head Coach Nate Gilbert, “we are looking forward to the second half of league play and continuing our momentum into playoffs.”

Next up, the Rams will take on Rio Linda at home on January 24, then go on the road to take on Pioneer on January 27. Stay tuned for playoff updates after league play. Go Rams!
