Preview and storyline

This early-season JV meeting pits two local programs trying to build momentum. Both teams enter the week 0-0 as they open nonleague play. There is no recent meeting listed between the programs in the supplied data. San Marcos arrives with a small group of SBLive fans showing (4), while Santa Ynez currently has no registered fans. Those counts — and in-app picks or projections — can change quickly, so fans who want to boost support should follow their teams on SBLive and make picks (picks are for fun and won’t affect any projected win chances).
