Palo Alto visits Homestead in girls JV basketball Friday

SBLive Report,            

Homestead HS -

Palo Alto travels to Homestead for a Bay Area JV matchup Friday, Jan. 9 at Homestead High School in Cupertino.

  • Game: Palo Alto Vikings at Homestead Mustangs (Girls JV)

  • Date: Friday, Jan. 9, 2026

  • Time: 4:30 p.m. PT

  • Location: Homestead High School — Homestead HS

  • Game page: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5941062-palo-alto-vs-homestead

Both teams enter the contest with records listed as 0-0. Homestead (home) and Palo Alto (away) are looking to get the early-season rhythm under way; neither team has a previous meeting listed for this matchup on the game’s page.

What to watch

  • Momentum: With early-season games, bench depth and how quickly starters find their footing typically decide close JV games. Watch for which team controls the paint and limits turnovers.

  • Balancing act: Both teams play again Saturday — Homestead at Menlo School (1:30 p.m. PT) and Palo Alto at Gunn (1:30 p.m. PT) — so coaches may manage minutes with back-to-back schedules in mind.
