Gridley and Oroville are an even 5-5 against one another since December of 2021, but not for long. The Gridley Bulldogs will be playing in front of their home fans against the Oroville Tigers at 7:30 p.m. on Friday.

Gridley is headed into the matchup out to prove that what happened against Orland on Tuesday (when they were outscored in every quarter) was just a minor bump in the road. Gridley came up short against Orland, falling 48-27. While losing is never fun, the Bulldogs can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 845th, while the Trojans are ranked 399th).

Meanwhile, there's no place like home for Oroville, who bounced back after a loss on the road on Thursday. They walked away with a 48-36 win over Live Oak on Tuesday.

Oroville's victory bumped their record up to 9-17. As for Gridley, their defeat dropped their record down to 8-16.

Things could have been worse for Gridley, but things could have been a whole lot better as they took a 50-31 loss to Oroville in their previous meeting back in January.
