The Pacific Ridge Firebirds will be taking part in a tournament against the Point Loma Pointers at 3:00 p.m. on Tuesday. Given that the two teams suffered a loss in their last games, they both have a little extra motivation heading into this matchup.
Pacific Ridge unfortunately couldn't capitalize on their home-court advantage in their season opener. They took a blow against Patrick Henry on Thursday, falling 61-24. Sadly, the defeat continues a streak the team started last season, making it six in a row.

The loss doesn't tell the whole story though, as several players had good games. One of the most active was Amara Karanikkis, who dropped a double-double with 11 points and ten boards. She is also on a roll when it comes to steals, as she's now grabbed two or more in each of the last four games she's played dating back to last season. Another player making a difference was Scarlett Burlingame, who posted four points.
Meanwhile, Point Loma lost to Academy of Our Lady of Peace on the road by a 50-34 margin on Saturday. The Pointers have struggled against the Pilots recently, as the game was their fourth consecutive lost matchup.
Pacific Ridge couldn't quite finish off Point Loma in their previous matchup back in November of 2023 and fell 43-40. Thankfully for the Firebirds, Kylie Wade (who almost dropped a double-double with 21 points and nine rebounds) won't be suiting up this time. Will that be enough to change the final result? There's only one way to find out.
