Why this matters

San Luis Obispo makes the trip to Bakersfield to take on Independence in what figures to be a midweek test for both programs. There’s no last meeting listed on file, so this game offers a clean slate as both teams continue through the winter schedule. San Luis Obispo’s next game after this one is Friday, Jan. 30 at Atascadero (3:45 p.m.), while Independence returns home Wednesday, Jan. 28 to host Ridgeview at 4 p.m.
