What to watch

Lincoln will open at home and hopes to use familiar rims and the home crowd to set the tone early in the season. Independence will be looking to establish its identity on the road in a quick back-to-back stretch (they travel to Menlo School on Dec. 6). Both teams are 0-0, so expect coaches to experiment with lineups and rotations early.
