Last meeting and quick narrative

The teams last met Dec. 7, 2021, at Bishop O’Dowd, with the Dragons posting a 51-37 victory (game recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/1516142-bishop-odowd-vs-pinole-valley). With both programs restarting their schedules, look for coach-driven defenses and an emphasis on turnovers and transition offense early in the season. The game is indoors, so weather in Oakland should not be a factor.
