"The only silver lining in last year[apos]s rash of injuries is getting a medical hardship approved for Ruben to play this year. He is a proven offensive player who will be a consistent scorer. He has always been our best outside shooter, ball handler and passer. As he elevates his defense and leadership, he has the potential to have a great season." - Head Coach Dr. John Giannini.
