Basketball Game Preview: Armijo Royals vs. Johnson Warriors

Meanwhile, Johnson was not able to break out of their rough patch on Friday as the team picked up their fifth straight defeat. They were dealt a 79-18 loss at the hands of Burbank. While losing is never fun, the Warriors can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 1069th, while the Titans are ranked 385th).

Armijo came out on top in a nail-biter against Johnson when the teams last played back in January, sneaking past 59-57. The rematch might be a little tougher for Armijo since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
