What to watch

The Guardians and Mustangs renew a recent rivalry: Justin Garza took the last meeting, a 68-54 decision on Dec. 13, 2025 (game recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/6133799-tulare-western-vs-justin-garza). That result gives Garza a recent edge, but playoff games bring a different level of intensity — expect both teams to bring defensive pressure and urgency on the boards.
