What to watch

This is a scrimmage designed to give both clubs a look at personnel and game-plan adjustments before the regular season. ScorebookLive does not list a most-recent meeting between these teams. Needham’s next scheduled regular-season game is at Milton on Sept. 5, and Wayland opens Sept. 5 at home against Holliston — small sample sizes early in the year make these scrimmages valuable for depth and position battles.
