What to watch

There’s no meeting history listed for these programs in the game data provided, so this one feels fresh. Mater Dei Catholic will be defending its home turf at Mater Dei Catholic High School while Bonita Vista makes the trip across town. Both programs have upcoming league commitments the following week — Mater Dei Catholic heads to Point Loma on Oct. 23 (4:30 p.m. PT) and Bonita Vista goes to Olympian on Oct. 23 (3:30 p.m. PT) — so this Thursday’s result could set the tone for league play.
