Preview

The Atwater Falcons make the short trip to Modesto for a league matchup with the Downey Knights at Thomas Downey High School on Tuesday night. Tip is set for 6:30 p.m. PST — a midweek test for both programs as the season settles into league play.

There’s no recent meeting listed between the two programs in the game data, so the rivalry — whether fresh or renewed — will take shape on the court. Fans can check each squad’s upcoming slate and build anticipation: Downey hosts Whitney next on Jan. 2 (5:30 p.m.) and Atwater travels to Los Banos on Dec. 13 (1 p.m.).
