Why this one matters

The Spartans carry momentum from the last meeting — Lathrop beat Johansen 56-38 on Jan. 15, 2025, in Lathrop — and Johansen will be looking for payback on its home floor. Both programs have upcoming league tests after this matchup: Johansen is scheduled to visit Livingston next week, and Lathrop travels to Turlock Christian on Jan. 16. This should be a physical league clash with local pride on the line.
