If North was riding high fresh off their 99-48 takedown of East Bakersfield last Friday, their most recent game may have dampened their spirits a bit. The North Stars fell just short of the South Spartans by a score of 59-56 on Wednesday. The loss was a bit of a surprise, as the Stars came into the match with a sizable advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 190th, while the Spartans are ranked 400th).
North's loss was their first in the league, dropping their league record down to 6-1 and their overall record down to 22-6. As for South, the win was the fifth in a row for them, bringing their record for this year to 16-9.
Both squads are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. North will welcome West at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. As for South, they will host Tehachapi at 6:30 p.m. on Friday. South is on a four-game streak of home wins, Tehachapi a three-game streak of away wins -- so someone will have to leave a streak behind on the court.
