Desert Oasis at Rancho Top Performers

<!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Desert Oasis tested Rancho on Wednesday night, but the Rams proved to be the stronger team. After the first quarter it was 12-9, and Rancho held the lead the rest of the way. The Diamondbacks did keep it interesting though. Devin-Kai Odinas showed no fear and went right at the Rancho defense in the second half. Despite his efforts, Desert Oasis fell short and lost by 9. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Final Score - Rancho 64 Desert Oasis 55</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p><strong>Rancho is now 15-5, while Desert Oasis moves to 6-8.</strong></p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1253142"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678ae1aac876f"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1253142' first='Jakoi' last='Lide'] had a strong offensive performance against Desert Oasis on Wednesday night. The senior guard was playing off of two feet and hit some not so easy shots. Including a tough turn around 2, and he also pulled off a nice euro step move that he also ended up finishing. I noticed him hustling on defense as well, and he was effective when Rancho was in there press. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 32 Points </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1535761"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678ae1aac87e6"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">[player_tooltip player_id='1535761' first='Jailen' last='Childress'] made some winning plays for Rancho in their game with Desert Oasis.

He was playing with a lot of effort and also produced some points for the Diamondbacks. On offense, he drained a couple of 3's and also got to the basket on a few of his drives. On defense, he had a block and applied good ball pressure. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":["not_in_db"],"_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_selected_featured_image":"field_62cca28ffa4e7","player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"Devin-Kai Odinas ","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_player_name":"field_62aba4c9ecf2f","player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"2026","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_graduating_class":"field_62aba4ddecf30","player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"6'2u0022","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_height":"field_62aba4e8ecf31","player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"77247","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_position":"field_62aba4f0ecf32","player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"Desert Oasis","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_school":"field_62aba4fdecf33","player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details_club_team":"field_62d20e723441a","player_evaluations_0_player_details":"","_player_evaluations_0_player_details":"field_62aba4afecf2e","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-678ae1aac8958"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph {"placeholder":"Add evaluation here...","className":"text-gray-700"} --> <p class="text-gray-700">Devin-Kai Odinas can hoop. The Diamondbacks forward was aggressive and was constantly looking to score. Rancho had a difficult time containing him at times, and he was able to draw quite a few fouls. At one point in the second half he scored 8 straight points for Desert Oasis. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Stats - 24 Points</p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block -->
