What to watch
These Sacramento-area rivals meet with recent history favoring the Lions: the last time they played, on Jan. 12, 2024 at McClatchy, McClatchy topped Kennedy 75-40. Both teams are back on the floor quickly after this Thursday’s scheduled games — Kennedy at Cordova and McClatchy hosting Antelope on Jan. 29 — so expect coaches to be managing minutes and looking for continuity down the stretch of league play.
