Former Rancho Christian players match up in NCAA Elite 8 - Valley News

The Golden Eagles came into the tourney as the 15th seed and were not expected to move past the No.

USC will take on top-seeded Gonzaga University, and the Trojans face an uphill climb against the mighty Bulldogs, but what makes this game even more exciting is that it features three local players, facing off against each other, who all played at Rancho Christian High School.

With a 29-5 overall record, the Eagles made it to the third round of the State Playoff Tournament.

The Trojans beat Kansas State University by 34 in the second round and emphatically clocked in for the Elite Eight with an 82–68 win over University of Oregon.

Gonzaga is content to let opponents score a bit, and its offense does occasionally run dry in the half court.
