Storylines and context
There’s no recent meeting on file between these programs, so Monday’s game at Essex Tech gives each team a fresh start and an early-season measuring stick. With both schools 0-0, expect coaches to use the nonleague slate to evaluate rotations and set a tone for the weeks ahead.
Both teams are back in action later this week — Essex North Shore Agriculture & Tech visits Manchester Essex on Jan. 8 (game page) and Swampscott hosts Saugus on Jan. 8 (game page).
