GIRLS BASKETBALL

Friday — Centennial at Faith Lutheran, 5 p.m.

The Trailblazers hope to secure one of the Southwest League’s four playoff spots, and this will be a good non-conference test. Though the team has missed a pair of starters the past couple of weeks, Green Valley is expected to be a playoff team in the Southeast League.
