Fair Oaks boys basketball rivals No. 9 Bella Vista and No. 10 Del Campo will break a first-place deadlock when they meet tonight in a Capital Valley Conference game at Bella Vista.
Both are 19-4 overall and 5-1 in league.
Defending league champion Bella Vista defeated Del Campo 64-57 on Jan. 18 at Del Campo but was upset 55-53 by Oakmont two nights later.
In other key games this week, top-ranked Sheldon will attempt to avenge its only Delta River League loss when it plays host to No. 11 Oak Ridge on Wednesday.
No. 2 Jesuit and No. 5 Pleasant Grove, tied for second and a game behind Sheldon, play the same night at Pleasant Grove.

Here are some rules of the road:
• Keep your comments civil. Don't insult one another or the subjects of our articles. If you think a comment violates our guidelines click the "Report Abuse" link to notify the moderators. Responding to the comment will only encourage bad behavior.
• Don't use profanities, vulgarities or hate speech. This is a general interest news site. Sometimes, there are children present. Don't say anything in a way you wouldn't want your own child to hear.
• Do not attack other users; focus your comments on issues, not individuals.
• Stay on topic. Only post comments relevant to the article at hand.
• Do not copy and paste outside material into the comment box.
• Don't repeat the same comment over and over. We heard you the first time.
• Do not use the commenting system for advertising. That's spam and it isn't allowed.
• Don't use all capital letters. That's akin to yelling and not appreciated by the audience.
• Don't flag other users' comments just because you don't agree with their point of view. Please only flag comments that violate these guidelines.
