    Welcome to Saratoga basketball! Today the Falcons play the Harker Eagles!
    @ 1:54 PM

  3. Commentary

    Harker comes into this game 5-3, after last year when they finished 8-16 and 0-10 in their league
    @ 1:57 PM

  4. Commentary

    I was surprised to see that these 2 schools have played each other only once in the last 20 years, given their relatively close proximity
    @ 1:58 PM

  5. Commentary

    That game was on 2012, and it was quite a game
    @ 1:58 PM

  6. Commentary

    Saratoga was towards the end of a 21-5 season, and a perfect 12-0 in their league. Then they collided with Harker
    @ 1:59 PM

  7. Commentary

    The Falcons had won 11 straight entering the game. It was tied after 3, but then Saratoga fell apart in the 4th and lost 41-54
    @ 2:00 PM

  8. Commentary

    This year, Harker is ranked higher. They’ve played only 1 common opponent, Lincoln: Saratoga lost by 5, Harker won by 11
    @ 2:01 PM

  9. Commentary

    Saratoga is scoring an average of 43ppg, ranging from 31-62, while Harker is higher at 52ppg and 37-73
    @ 2:02 PM

  10. Commentary

    Defensively, the Falcons are allowing 44ppg, between 28-60, while Harker gives up 36ppg, between 17-55
    @ 2:02 PM

  11. Commentary

    Saratoga’s strongest quarter statistically so far has been the 4th, Harker the 3rd
    @ 2:03 PM

  12. Commentary

    Harker had lost 3 of its last 4 before demolishing Westmont 2 nights ago, 73-17
    @ 2:04 PM

  13. Commentary

    And while Saratoga is 4-6, 2 of those losses were by just 5, and 2 by only 2, with another by merely 8, so they’re stronger than the record
    @ 2:05 PM

  14. Commentary

    Indeed, on Wednesday they finally won one of those close ones! They were down 36-43 late, but scored the final 8 points to beat Mt Eden by 1
    @ 2:05 PM

  15. Commentary

    Riley Adler was the hero, scoring the Falcons’ final 3 points!
    @ 2:06 PM

  16. Commentary

    First she made a free throw to pull within 1. Then she hit an off-balance, opposite-foot jumper with a defender in her face for the winner!!
    @ 2:07 PM

  17. Commentary

    Iyer led Saratoga with 21, and Ahmed 9. The Falcons have won 2 straight, so let’s hope they keep that going this afternoon!
    @ 2:08 PM

  18. Commentary

    We’re at Del Mar HS, only 15-20 minutes from Saratoga and close to Santana Row if you want to cheer on the Falcons!
    @ 2:09 PM

  19. Commentary

    We’ll play again tomorrow, time and opponent TBD by today’s game. Then next week league play begins 1/3 vs Mountain View, 1/6 at Los Gatos
    @ 2:10 PM

  20. Commentary

    But today it’s a game against highly-ranked Harker. Tip-off estimated around 3pm, depends on the prior game, I’ll update later. Go Falcons!
    @ 2:11 PM
  21. Btw here’s Adler game winner from Wednesday, definitely worth sharing again!
    @ 2:27 PM

  22. Commentary

    OK prior game is over, Saratoga-Harker estimated right about 3pm as scheduled!
    @ 2:50 PM
  23. Here’s the bracket
