Notes and storyline

This is an early-season league test for both programs — neither has recorded a varsity game yet in 2026. There’s no recent meeting listed between the two teams, so the game should set an early tone in league standings. San Leandro will have the home-court edge at its gym, while Piedmont travels with a chance to make an early impression on the road.
