Varsity Week Ahead: Okkodo Hosts JFK as Week 2 Heats Up
St. Paul and Guam High open their seasons, and Saturday brings Okkodo vs JFK.
Week 1 is in the books, and six teams opened 1-0. Week 2 is packed, with 11 Varsity games over four nights and several matchups between teams that started with wins. St. John's at Southern, first set for Tuesday, has moved to Thursday, Nov. 12. Here are the games and players to watch.
Games to Watch
St. Paul at JFK Wednesday, Nov. 4, 5:30 PM, John F. Kennedy High School
St. Paul opens its season against a JFK team that looked sharp in Week 1. The Warriors' full-court pressure will test JFK's ball handlers, and JFK's shooters will test St. Paul right back. These two finished third and fourth last season.
Okkodo vs JFK Saturday, Nov. 7, 7 PM, Okkodo High School
Both teams opened with convincing wins, and this could be the best game of the week. Okkodo leans on Emily Duenas and Taurehn Arjona, while JFK spreads it around with Savy Papa, Maddison Flores and Elizabeth Carlos. The winner takes an early head-to-head edge in the race for seeding.
