Having just played yesterday, the Simi Valley Pioneers will jump right back in to play the Golden Valley Grizzlies at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Simi Valley unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They were dealt an 84-54 loss at the hands of Brentwood School on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Golden Valley came up short against Westlake on Wednesday and fell 55-48. The Grizzlies have now taken an 'L' in back-to-back games.
Simi Valley couldn't quite get it done against Golden Valley in their previous matchup back in November of 2024 as they fell 73-61.

Now that the Pioneers know the damage he can cause, will they be able to stop him this time? There's only one way to find out.
