PLEASANTON — With the 2012-13 season less than a week old, Humboldt High’s and Crest High’s boys delivered one of the more entertaining games of the year, with Humboldt prevailing 43-40 on Dec. 6.
Both teams responded well from the early-season thriller. Humboldt has remained undefeated since then, as have the Lancers.
If the chips fall properly next week, the squads may be in tune for a rematch.
Humboldt (9-0) holds the top seed while Crest (6-1) is seeded second in the Pleasanton Blu-Jays Midseason Tournament, which tips off Tuesday.
But first things first.
Humboldt first tangles with winless Altoona-Midway at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Pleasanton’s south gymnasium. The second-seeded Lancers will take on seventh-seeded Pleasanton at 8:3 p.m. Tuesday in the north gym.
In other first-round matchups fourth-seeded Central Heights (3-4) takes on fifth-seeded Uniontown (3-5), while no. 3 seed Prairie View (5-3) faces sixth-seeded Jayhawk-Linn (2-6).
Humboldt will face either Central Heights or Uniontown Thursday, depending on who wins each game. Likewise, Crest will play either Prairie View or Jayhawk-Linn Thursday.

ON THE GIRLS side, Humboldt (2-6) is the fifth seed and will take on fourth-seeded Uniontown (2-6) at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday in the north gym. Crest (0-6) is the seventh seed and will face second-seeded Pleasanton (5-1) at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the north gym.
Prairie View (7-1) is the top seed and will face winless Altoona-Midway (0-7) Tuesday. Humboldt will face one or the other in semifinal action at 4 p.m. Thursday. Crest will face other third seed Jayhawk-Linn (4-4) or fifth seed Central Heights (1-6) on Thursday.
The fifth-place, third-place and championship games in both brackets will be played next Saturday.
