The Valley View Eagles just played yesterday, but they'll still head out to face the Yucaipa Thunderbirds at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday.
On Wednesday, Valley View ended up a good deal behind Corona and lost 56-40. The Eagles have struggled against the Panthers recently, as the game was their third consecutive lost matchup.
Despite the loss, Valley View had strong showings from Davion Moore, who went 6-for-11 to rack up 14 points, and Cole McFarland, who posted five points and three steals.
Meanwhile, Yucaipa took care of business in their home opener (barely) on Tuesday. They narrowly escaped with a victory as the squad sidled past JW North 52-50. For those keeping track at home, that's the closest win the Thunderbirds have posted since January 16th.
Yucaipa's win came from a few key players Valley View will need to keep an eye on. One of the most notable was Levi Vaughan, who put up eight points. What's more, he posted two steals, the most he's had since back in December of 2024. The team also got some help courtesy of Liam Rundles, who earned nine points and six rebounds.
Everything went Valley View's way against Yucaipa in their previous matchup back in November of 2023, as Valley View made off with an 86-65 victory. One of the biggest obstacles trying to stand in the way of that victory was the Thunderbirds' Malik Young, who shot 44% from the field on his way to 30 points along with five assists and four steals. Now that he won't be playing on Thursday, will it be easier for the Eagles to walk away with another win? Check MaxPreps.com after the match to find out.
