SAN DIEGO (Interstat) — The Los Angeles Valley Monarchs and San Diego Mesa Olympians, both seeking consistency early in the season, will face off in a California men’s junior college basketball game on Friday.

Los Angeles Valley (1-1) enters the contest after a 59-53 home victory over San Diego Miramar on Nov. 2. The win served as a bounce-back performance following a season-opening 105-78 road loss to Moorpark. Guard Jeremiah Parker led the Monarchs with 24 points and eight rebounds in the win.

San Diego Mesa (0-1) looks for its first win after falling 89-75 at Santa Ana on Nov. 3. The Olympians’ offense showed flashes, but their defense will be tested against a Valley team that has displayed scoring potential.

A statistical projection from Interstat anticipates a tightly contested matchup, simulating a 100-100 final score.

The game is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, at San Diego Mesa’s home court.
