The Oakland Wildcats will take on Leadership at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday. Both come into the contest bolstered by wins in their previous matches.
Oakland is on a roll after a high-stakes playoff matchup on Thursday. They took down McClymonds 54-37. Given the Wildcats' advantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 88th, while the Warriors are ranked 464th), the result wasn't entirely unexpected.
Meanwhile, Leadership came tearing into last Wednesday's match with 13 straight wins (a stretch where they outscored their opponents by an average of 18.1 points), and they left with even more momentum. They came within four points of losing the streak, but they secured a 63-59 W against the Golden Eagles. That's two games straight that Leadership has won by exactly four points.
Oakland has been performing well recently as they've won 15 of their last 18 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-7 record this season. The wins came thanks in part to their offensive performance across that stretch, as they averaged 61.3 points over those games. Leadership's win was their fourth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 20-4.
