Why this one matters

Monterey Trail and Franklin meet at Franklin HS on Jan. 30 with a recent result between the clubs still fresh: the Mustangs knocked off Franklin 74-52 in the teams’ Jan. 9 meeting at Monterey Trail (game recap and box score: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/5853765-franklin-vs-monterey-trail). Expect both teams to come out ready to adjust after that lopsided result — a rematch at a hostile gym can swing momentum quickly.
