What to watch
The Matadors and Roadrunners renew their series after Bolsa Grande topped Saddleback 15-10 in the teams’ last meeting on Jan. 28, 2025 (box: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/4586611-bolsa-grande-vs-saddleback). That low-scoring result hints at a physical, defense-first matchup when these programs meet in Santa Ana. Each team also has upcoming league tests the following week — Bolsa Grande hosts Estancia on Jan. 13 (https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5667323-estancia-vs-bolsa-grande) while Saddleback hosts Century on Jan. 13 (https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5973956-century-vs-saddleback) — making Friday’s game a key tune-up.
