    Next Wednesday, the Boys Basketball team will face off against Burbank in the first round of the CIF Division Two Playoffs. Burbank, hailing from Sacramento, boasts a record of 20-7, with a 10-4 record in the strong Metropolitan Conference. The Titans have an extremely high powered offense as they have scored 1061 points in league on the year, only 50 points behind regional superpower Sacramento High.

    This style of offense could be comparable to league rivals Del Campo or Cosumnes Oaks, both with their high powered and heavy shooting offenses. In order to counter these strengths, Roseville needs to get back on defense and box out, or risk falling behind quickly.  The Tigers will face off against the Titans at 7:00 in the Moeller Gym.
