HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL

GAME OF THE DAY

Simi Valley (10-4, 2-0) at Thousand Oaks (12-2, 2-0)

Tonight, 7:30

Why it matters: First place in the Marmonte League is on the line, with a sellout crowd expected. Simi Valley’s Brad Lewis, a senior guard, is averaging 26.1 points and has made 55 three-pointers. The Pioneers have lost three consecutive games and need a return to form against the improving Lancers.

TUESDAY’S RESULT

No. 20 Corona Centennial 73, No. 3 Riverside King 71

Leading contributors: Sophomore Gelaun Wheelwright scored 28 points and sophomore Dominique Dunning added 17 points for Centennial. Kawhi Leonard had 27 points for King.

The scoop: Centennial pulled off the upset in a Big VIII League opener by opening a 16-point lead in the third quarter and holding on with some clutch free throws despite starting three sophomores.

Why it matters: Centennial has stamped itself as a Division I-A title contender.

Records: King 9-2, Centennial 14-1.
