After a tough game in the semis, Cruz Veliz bounced back big in the 3rd Place win for WoodburnBoysBasketball. The junior point guard was sharp with his jumper, scoring 17 points, while dishing out five dimes. He was a big factor on defense as well with five steals.

Cruz Veliz's heroics against West Albany in the state quarterfinals should really come as little surprise. After all, he's been envisioning such moments since he was a child getting buckets on the hoop attached to his bedroom door. #opreps
