What to watch

These Central Valley and Johansen teams last met on Jan. 17, 2025, when Central Valley edged Johansen 64-56. That recent meeting gives the Hawks a small edge on paper, but league games in January often come down to matchups and momentum late in the season. Both squads will want to build momentum before their next outings (Johansen at Livingston on Jan. 21; Central Valley at Lathrop on Jan. 21).
