Two Ventura County programs meet Monday night as the Royal Highlanders host the Santa Clara Saints in a nonleague girls basketball game. Tip is at 5:30 p.m. PST in Simi Valley, where fans can expect a typical winter evening in Southern California (location: Simi Valley, Calif.).

Last time these programs met was Dec. 6, 2019 — Santa Clara posted a 36-9 victory (game details: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/412180-royal-vs-santa-clara). That history gives the Saints a recent upper hand in the series, but both teams come into the contest looking to build momentum in the middle of the season.
