What to watch

There’s no recent meeting on file between these two programs, which adds a little extra intrigue to this mid-December matchup. Neither team has a game result listed on the SBLive page for this matchup, so fans should expect an evenly matched nonconference test to close out the calendar year. Coaches will be looking for defensive identity and ball control early — those fundamentals often decide close holiday-season games.

Streaming and broadcast

Both schools have NFHS Network team pages where fans may find live streams or season coverage:
