De'ari Simmons Game Report: @ Vallejo

On Friday, Pinole Valley had to settle for second even though De'Ari Simmons put up the best numbers he has all season. Simmons posted 23 points, good enough to set a new career-high in points in the process. That high mark didn't come from nowhere: he has now grabbed two or more in the last three games he's played.

Simmons and Pinole Valley will challenge St. Patrick-St. Vincent at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday. The last time these two faced off, Simmons and Co. were forced to settle for a 94-49 loss. Could another big game from him be enough to change the outcome this time? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more basketball content.
