Big JC baketball games on tap today

Once Antelope Valley and Mt. San Jacinto left the Foothill Conference it seemed Chaffey and San Bernardino Valley were going to be the teams to battle it out for the top spot each year.

But this year some other teams have crept up and made their presence known. Among those is Victor Valley which will host SBVC at 1 today. Both teams are state-ranked with San Bernardino (22-2, 3-0) fourth and Victor Valley (15-9, 2-1) 20th.

It is just the second time the Rams have been state-ranked.

SBVC is in first place, with Victor Valley tied with College of the Desert (10-9, 2-1) for second place. So we’ll see if the Rams are ready to take that next step today.

SBVC boasts the No. 2 RPI in the state behind just Mt. SAC. The Wolverines have balance in their lineup with four players averaging double figures but no one at more than 15 points a game.  Sophomore Charles Callison (14.8 ppg) leads the team, just ahead of freshman Kyle Benton (13.5).

Victor Valley is sparked by sophomore guards Kimani Lane (15.8 ppg) and James Tonic (15.2 ppg).

The teams will tip off at 1 p.m. at Victor Valley with the women;s game to follow.

Elsewhere in the conference, Chaffey will be at College of the Desert and Barstow will be at Rio Hondo.
