The Cavaliers are 7-0 in league (13-10 overall) with three games left to play. Rancho is in second at 5-2 and 13-9. The purple and white can clinch at least a tie for the crown with a win over Bolsa Grande on Friday.

In boys’ Garden Grove League play, both Los Amigos and Bolsa Grande posted wins, setting up a crucial matchup on Feb. 6 in the Lobo gym. Los Amigos defeated La Quinta 55-41 and Bolsa turned back Loara 51-40.
LAHS leads the GGL race by one game over Bolsa.
