Class 5A DI Girls Basketball Playoffs PSJA North (25-10) vs. Brownsville Rivera (25-14): The first of four Valley vs. Valley bi-district contests at the Class 5A level presents a matchup between a pair of teams ending playoff droughts.

Meanwhile, Brownsville Rivera is gearing up for its first playoff game since 2016, snapping a nine-year dry spell. Junior Xandria Johnson is a big reason for Rivera’s turnaround, averaging a double-double this season with 11.1 points and 13.4 rebounds per game. Johnson has also been a force defensively, averaging 1.8 blocks and 1.4 steals per game. Several others players help complement Rivera’s 5-foot-8 junior, including a trio of senior Lorraine Perez, sophomore Katy Zamora and Abani Perdomo which are all averaging at least 6.2 points per contes. Tip-off for the Raiders vs. Raiders clash is set for 6 p.m. Tuesday at the Brownsville Rivera gym....
