Why it matters

Nonleague games this time of year are often where roles get defined — coaches tinker with lineups, underclassmen get minutes and teams hunt for consistency before league play. Aptos will host the Cowboys as both programs look to fine-tune personnel and gain momentum. Check the SBLive game page above for any late updates.
