Why this one matters

This matchup kicks off the holiday-week stretch for both teams. Both squads enter the contest 0-0 on the young season, and last time these programs met — Dec. 7, 2023 in Dedham — the Marauders edged Milton 38-32 in a low-scoring, physical battle. That close finish suggests this could be another tight game, one decided by defense and late execution.

What to watch

• Defense-first tempo: The 2023 meeting was a defensive slog; expect coaches to emphasize stops and limiting turnovers.

• Local rivalry feel: Close margins in past meetings give this one a playoff atmosphere early in the season.
