The San Tan Charter Roadrunners (1-2) travel south on Power Road to play the Casteel Colts (1-1) on Tuesday night, 7:00 PM at Casteel High School. The Roadrunners return from the 5th Annual Battle by the Beach at St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura, California following losses to top California schools Crespi (61-55) and JSerra (80-59). Casteel, who lost in the 6A State Championship game 55-31 to Ironwood in February, is coming off a 70-61 loss in a rematch at Ironwood last Friday.

The game on Tuesday opens up a stretch of four games in five days where the Roadrunners will also face defending Open Champion Perry on Wednesday (4:30 PM), Williams Field on Friday (1:30 PM), and Higley on Saturday (1:30 PM) as part of the LV8 Invitational at Chandler-Gilbert Community College. Last year the Roadrunners went 2-1 in the event, defeating Mountain Point and Peoria, before losing to Perry on the final day.

San Tan Charter enters the game off of two high-caliber games in California at the 5th Annual Battle by the Beach, hosted at St. Bonaventure High School in Ventura, California. On Friday the Roadrunners battled against Crespi Carmelite (Encino, CA), cutting a halftime deficit down to 3, but Crespi was ultimately able to hold on for the 62-56 victory. Junior Jaelon Germany posted a double-double and led all scorers with 23 points, while adding 10 rebounds and two steals. Sophomore Peyton Lubash (20) also scored in double figures for the Roadrunners, who trailed by as many as 18 in the first half before their valiant comeback effort.

On Saturday the Roadrunners faced a tough task against one of the top teams in California (LA Times preseason #6). Lubash led the Roadrunners with 16 points, while Germany added 15 as JSerra jumped out to a 23-10 first-quarter lead on their way to the 80-59 victory.
