What to watch

Archbishop Riordan will look to build on the program’s momentum after a lopsided meeting in the last matchup: Riordan beat Valley Christian 56-17 on Feb. 2, 2024 (full box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/3656213-valley-christian-vs-archbishop-riordan). That game was controlled by Riordan from the opening quarter, and Valley Christian will be searching for answers on both ends as it looks to bounce back.
