RIVERSIDE (Interstat) — The Riverside Tigers will host the Victor Valley Rams in a men’s junior college basketball game Wednesday. Riverside is 2-0 on the season, while Victor Valley is 0-1. The Tigers are the home team, and the Rams are the visitor.

Victor Valley will look to Komari Lewis, who had 20 points, 13 rebounds and one assist in the Rams’ most recent game, a 98-87 loss to Santa Monica. Abdel Khieter also scored 20 points and added eight rebounds, one assist and two blocks in that contest, and Derrick Malone finished with 16 points, seven rebounds, five assists and two blocks. Lewis is the Rams’ player to watch as they seek their first win of the season. The Rams opened their season with that loss.

Riverside has opened with wins at West Los Angeles and at Ventura. Issa Fomba is the Tigers’ player to watch after posting 11 points, 10 rebounds and three assists in an 89-50 win at Ventura. Jaiden Agbo added 15 points, two rebounds and two assists, and Jemeil Rich Jr. contributed 10 points, four rebounds and three assists in that game. Fomba also had two points in the earlier 87-80 win at West Los Angeles. Riverside will rely on Fomba’s scoring and rebounding as it tries to remain unbeaten. Riverside opened with an 87-80 win at West Los Angeles before beating Ventura 89-50.

Victor Valley’s recent effort included balanced production from Khieter, Lewis and Malone, but Santa Monica’s 98-point output proved too much. The Rams will aim for a stronger defensive performance against a Riverside team that has scored 89 or more points in both of its victories. Victor Valley is seeking to bounce back and secure its first result of the young season. Khieter, Lewis and Malone combined to give the Rams three double-figure scorers in the loss.

After Wednesday’s game, Victor Valley is scheduled to play at Porterville before home games against Santa Barbara and San Diego Miramar. The Rams’ upcoming slate also includes games against Cypress, Los Angeles Pierce, El Camino, Barstow, Copper Mountain, San Bernardino Valley and Palo Verde. Riverside is set to host Ventura and East Los Angeles before a road game at Chaffey. The Tigers’ schedule also includes Mount San Jacinto, Mount San Antonio, MiraCosta, Citrus, Long Beach, Fullerton and Cypress.
