By Sharon Martin [email protected] @SharonBMartin on Twitter

CHICO >> For Tyler Otterlei, it doesn’t get much more bitter- sweet than his junior year. During an early season tournament game at Sacramento High, Otterlei went up for a layup, but was undercut by an opposing player. Otterlei went down hard to the floor, crack- ing his elbow and delegating him to the sideline for the rest of the season. It was an injury that left Otterlei on the sidelines to Otterlei watch the Pleasant Valley High boys basketball team go on to win its first state basketball title. “Missing the whole season hurt more than the actual injury,” Ot- terlei said. “They were out there spending their blood, sweat and tears while I was just sitting com- fortably on the bench. “I did whatever I had to. I got them water. I tried to do cardio in practice. I was working hard so I can make the return this year.” In his senior year, Otterlei has used that setback as motivation PHOTOS BY RICH PEDRONCELLI — THE ASSOCIATED PRESS and has been a key contributor Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley III, center, goes for the rebound between the Milwaukee Bucks’ Nikola Mirotic, left, and Ersan in the Vikings’ quest for a second Ilyasova, right, during the first quarter Wednesday in Sacramento. consecutive state championship.
