What to watch

This is a mid-January league meeting between two Ventura/Santa Barbara area programs. There’s no recent meeting data available on the SBLive game entry, so this could be a chance for either side to stake early league positioning. San Marcos has its next league test scheduled Jan. 20 at Rio Mesa; Buena returns to action Tuesday, Jan. 13 at Dos Pueblos — those upcoming dates are worth noting for depth and rotation decisions.
