Why this one matters

This figures to be a close, physical league test — the teams split last season’s meeting by a single point. In their last matchup, on Feb. 10, 2025 at Sylmar, Van Nuys edged Sylmar 26-25, so both programs will have that one-point game fresh in mind. Expect a low-possession, defensive battle where every rebound and free throw matters.
