What to watch
This nonleague matchup will pit Taft Union’s Wildcats against the Thunderbirds from Kennedy in what figures to be a physical, short-distance road trip for Kennedy. The teams last met on Dec. 3, 2024, at Robert F. Kennedy High School in Delano — you can revisit that meeting here: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/5015260-taft-union-vs-kennedy. With both programs still building their early-season narratives, expect coaches to be testing lineups and giving players chances to stake a claim for bigger roles as league play approaches.
