What to watch

Mt. Carmel gets a home date with Valley Center as both programs look to lock down league positioning. The teams last met Jan. 19, 2024, at Valley Center HS, when Mt. Carmel dominated 81-35 (box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/3564089-mt-carmel-vs-valley-center). That history gives Mt. Carmel momentum, but league games carry their own urgency — expect a physical, fast-paced contest.
