The Banks Braves make the short trip to Jefferson on Tuesday night looking to open the regular season with momentum. Both teams are listed 0-0 on the SBLive game page, and the Lions will host the matchup at Jefferson High School at 6 p.m. Pacific.

Last meeting and storyline

Banks and Jefferson met a year ago on Dec. 10, 2024, at Banks High School, where the Braves won 51-44. In that matchup SBLive’s pregame model gave Banks roughly a 56 percent win chance to Jefferson’s 44 percent — numbers that can change from game to game. Banks enters with a slightly larger SBLive fan base (10 fans) than Jefferson (1 fan) on their team pages; picks for this game are currently open on SBLive and sitting at zero.

Why this matters

Banks will try to build on last season’s road win and carry that confidence into another nonleague test.

Jefferson gets a chance to defend home court and avenge last season’s loss in front of its home crowd.
