Why this one matters

This is an early-season league meeting between two Sacramento-area programs with a recent memory favoring El Camino — the Eagles took the last matchup decisively. Natomas will head to El Camino looking to flip the script and pick up momentum before upcoming road tests (Natomas’ next game listed at Weston Ranch). El Camino returns home and then hosts Sutter on Jan. 7.
