The Garey Vikings will head out on the road to face off against the Bassett Olympians at 4:45 p.m. on Friday. The teams are on pretty different trajectories at the moment (Garey has six straight wins, Bassett has 13 straight defeats), but none of that matters once you're on the field.
In what's become a running theme this season, Garey gave their fans yet another huge win on Wednesday. They breezed by La Puente at home to the tune of 62-2. With Garey ahead 42-0 at the half, the matchup was all but over already.

Meanwhile, Bassett had to suffer through a rough 49-13 loss at the hands of Edgewood.

Garey came out on top in a nail-biter against Bassett when the teams last played back in January of 2023, sneaking past 2-0. The rematch might be a little tougher for Garey since the team won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
