Match-up: Los Altos vs. Mountain View in girls high school basketball.
Published on 01/04/1999

When: 7 p.m., today.

Where: Mountain View High, 3535 Truman Ave., Mountain View.

Situation: SCVAL El Camino Division opener for both teams. The host Spartans come into the game with a 4-5 overall record, while the Eagles have a 1-9 mark.

What to Watch For: Inconsistency. These district rivals are both young and going through growing pains. Los Altos returns just two starters: guard Christina Fonseca and forward Marisa Whitlock. Mountain View only boasts two returners as well: guards Kelsey Nakano and Nicole Robledo. Eagles coach John Mackey still believes his team can compete for the division title, though, while Spartans coach Karl Hawkins is striving for at least a .500 record.

Recent History: Los Altos beat Mountain View twice in El Camino Division competition last season.
