Overview

The Bear Creek Bruins head to Merced to take on the Golden Valley Cougars on Tuesday evening. Both programs are at the start of the 2025-26 season (0-0 on the schedule), so this will be an early test as coaches look to settle lineups and build chemistry.

There’s no last-meeting data listed for this matchup, so Tuesday’s game will offer a fresh measuring stick for both teams. Golden Valley’s next scheduled game after this one is Oakdale at Golden Valley on Dec. 18; Bear Creek’s next listed game is Dec. 27 at Central Catholic — useful context for fans tracking the early-season slate.
