Two local rivals meet at Somerville High for a midweek league test. Their last meeting came Dec. 12, 2024, at Medford High, where Medford posted a 45-17 win (full box: https://scorebooklive.com/massachusetts/girls-basketball/games/4408100-somerville-vs-medford). Expect Somerville to use home-court energy to respond; this should be a lively gym with local bragging rights on the line.
