The matchup

Redwood will host neighboring El Diamante in what figures to be a physical, local tilt at Redwood HS. SBLive’s game page has no season scoring logged yet for either team, so this one will be an early-season measuring stick for both programs. Follow the teams on SBLive: Redwood Rangers — https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/teams/161642-redwood-rangers-jv and El Diamante Miners — https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/teams/161624-el-diamante-miners-jv.

Last meeting and context

The last recorded meeting between these programs came Feb. 11, 2020, when Redwood posted a 47-19 victory (linescore: 9-13-15-10 for Redwood; 8-3-4-4 for El Diamante). See the full box score from that game: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/338379-el-diamante-vs-redwood. With that memory in mind, El Diamante will look to tighten its defense and change the tone of this rivalry night.
