Entering the playoffs, the Alta Vista Lobos find themselves navigating choppy waters. A two-game losing streak casts a shadow, and their 6-9 record pales in comparison to the Phantoms’ 10-8 mark. Yet, the Lobos cannot be underestimated. Fueled by the sting of recent defeats, they might unleash a “desperation surge” seeking redemption on the road. Eyes will be on senior forward Marcus Johnson, whose scoring prowess can single-handedly tilt the scales.

Riding a four-game winning streak, the Mission Heights Prep Phantoms exude confidence. Their home court advantage further bolsters their momentum, as the electric atmosphere of their “Phantom Dome” can prove intimidating for visiting teams. Point guard Rylend Doble, averaging 4.2 assists per game, orchestrates the offense with his vision and playmaking ability. His dynamic partnership with sharpshooter Carlo D’Arcangelo (17.7 ppg) presents a formidable offensive duo.

This contest is too close to call. On paper, the Phantoms hold the edge with their record and home court advantage. However, the Lobos’ desperation for redemption could be a game-changer. Expect a tightly contested battle with the outcome hinging on clutch plays and defensive intensity.

So, who will emerge victorious? Tune in on Monday to witness this captivating playoff clash and see if the Lobos can quell the Phantoms’ flight or if the Mission Heights faithful will celebrate another soaring victory.
