The University Trojans will take on the Wilson Wildcats in a tournament on Thursday. Wilson took a loss in their last contest and will be looking to turn the tables on University, who comes in off a win.

Among those leading the charge was Asha Highsmith, who dropped a double-double on 13 points and ten boards. The team also got some help courtesy of Rae Li, who posted seven points.
Meanwhile, Wilson played a tough match on Friday in which they were outscored in every quarter. They might have been a little too into the holiday spirit, gifting Sunny Hills an easy 56-31 win. While losing is never fun, the Wildcats can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' California basketball rankings (they are ranked 862nd, while the Lancers are ranked 340th).
