Why it matters

This nonleague meeting gives both programs a midseason test on the road (for El Dorado) and at home (for Amador). The teams last met on Nov. 19, 2022, at El Dorado High School, where the Cougars posted a 72-29 victory: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/2506133-el-dorado-vs-amador. That result looms as a storyline, but rosters and lineups can change quickly — expect a different feel on the floor in 2026.
