What to watch

The teams met earlier this month on Jan. 6 at McKinleyville, and Eureka walked away with a 41-40 decision in a one-point thriller. Expect both coaches to emphasize defense and clean execution in late-game situations after such a tight previous meeting. Eureka enters this home date looking to build on that momentum; McKinleyville will be hunting for a road response.
