Tip off is scheduled for 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday in the big gymnasium.

SUPER OWLS AT HOME
They sure are fun to watch at home, aren’t they? Foothill Owls fans are used to the team’s home heroics by now, but the team still kept fans engaged through their dominating performance against the Monterey Peninsula Lobos on Friday. In addition to scoring an average of 73.6 points per game in their five home games, they also held their opponent to a measly 48.2 points per game; going 4-1 in their home games.
