Johansen defeated the Ceres High JV girls basketball team 38-29 in the championship game of the Ceres Tournament on Dec. 11.
The Bulldogs got revenge against the Vikings in Modesto Metro Conference action in Modesto on Thursday.
"That's the first time we have beat Johansen in three years," said Ceres coach Kassi Baker.
The Bulldogs allowed zero points in the first period and routed the Vikings 45-26 during the second meeting.

The Bulldogs spread the ball around and attacked the basket.
Four of Ceres' players accumulated three or more assists. Five Bulldogs grabbed at least six rebounds
"We got a lot of shots off, which was good," Baker said.

Shawna Bryant scored a team-high nine points, Kayla Xavier had five and Shanae Stevens added four for Johansen.
The Bulldogs improved to 2-0 in the MMC, 7-1 overall.
The Vikings fell to 0-2 in the league standings.
"At practice, we're trying to teach them everything we can teach them," Baker said. "They're catching on. They're improving every game."
