Fairfax could either rebound in a big way from its 33-point loss to Westchester or creep closer to .500 in the coming days.

First up for the Lions is a game against vastly improved Palisades on Friday. Then Fairfax (9-6 overall, 1-1 Western League), ranked No. 12 in the Southland by The Times, will play Concord De La Salle at Haas Pavilion in Berkeley on Monday.

We’ll soon find out whether the Lions are City Section contenders or also-rans.

Ben Bolch has been a Los Angeles Times staff writer since 1999. He is serving his second stint as the UCLA beat writer, which seems fitting since he has covered almost every sports beat except hockey and horse racing. Bolch is also the author of the recently released book “100 Things UCLA Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die.” He previously covered UCLA basketball from 2010-11 before going on to cover the NBA and the Clippers for five years. He happily traded in gobs of hotel points and airline miles to return to cover UCLA basketball and football in the summer of 2016. Bolch was once selected by NBA TV’s “The Starters” as the “Worst of the Week” after questioning their celebrity journalism-style questions at an NBA All-Star game and considers it one of his finer moments.
