Preview

Merced travels to Atwater for a Friday league matchup at Atwater High School. Fans can follow both teams on SBLive for live updates on the game page above. Team pages: Merced Bears — https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/teams/158020-merced-bears-fr and Atwater Falcons — https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/teams/157996-atwater-falcons-fr.

There’s no last-meeting data listed for this pairing, so Friday’s game is a fresh chapter between the programs. Both teams have upcoming league games later next week — Atwater at Buhach Colony on Jan. 28 (https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/5874099-atwater-vs-buhach-colony) and Merced at Golden Valley on Jan. 28 (https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/5870704-merced-vs-golden-valley) — giving coaches little time to turn this contest into momentum for the stretch run.
