The 14th-ranked Ray boys’ basketball team competed at the 1st Annual Eddie Martinez Memorial Tournament last weekend, which took place at Florence High School on Jan. 5-6.
The Cats lost their first two games by a combined six points, including a 45 – 43 loss to San Tan Foothills and a 48 – 44 defeat against Sahuarita. Marana, a 5A conference school, proved to be too much for the Cats to handle in a lopsided loss, 57 – 26.
The Cats will return to action with three games this week, two of them against region foes.
Upcoming schedule: Jan. 10 vs. NFL Yet Academy, Jan. 12 vs. Miami and Jan. 13 at North Phoenix Prep (5 p.m.). All games scheduled for 7 p.m. unless otherwise noted.
