Bay Area News Group high school basketball predictions: Jan. 28, 2026
"Canilao went against the grain once again on the girls side. He was the only writer to pick Fremont to top Los Gatos in their Santa Clara Valley Athletic League De Anza Division clash. They beat them at their place, and I think that's huge, Canilao said of the Firebirds. They have a little bit of a psychological advantage, and so I'm going to take Fremont in an upset."
"Sabedra thinks he's learned his lesson from last time and will not be picking against Dougherty Valley this time around. I don't even know how to pick this league, he said. I mean, it's impossible, but we're going to try. I'm not going to go against Mike Hansen again. I'm going to take Dougherty Valley to get the W on Friday night."
Half Moon Bay is favored over Hillsdale in a Wednesday girls game, with a 14-3 record versus 12-5. Fremont-Sunnyvale is projected to challenge Los Gatos after Fremont's previous road victory, which provides a psychological advantage. San Ramon Valley's depth positions the Wolves ahead of Riordan. On the boys side, Valley Christian vs. Mitty, Willow Glen vs. Westmont, and Dougherty Valley vs. Amador Valley are highlighted matchups, with Dougherty Valley expected to prevail in a competitive league. Recent outcomes included a thrilling Half Moon Bay win and a comfortable Los Gatos victory that influenced current outlooks.
