What to watch

The Mustangs and Roadrunners renew a rivalry that last produced a 35-23 Costa Mesa victory on Jan. 25, 2024, at Saddleback HS. Both teams are scheduled to play again the next day — Saddleback at Orange (Dec. 10, 4:30 p.m. PT) and Costa Mesa at Loara (Dec. 10, 4:45 p.m. PT) — so depth and rotation management could be factors late in the game.
