What to watch

This early-season meeting pits two programs with regional history against one another. The Chiefs have a slight edge in recent memory: the teams last met Dec. 28, 2024, at Pearl High School, where Pelahatchie edged Crystal Springs 43-39 (box score and recap: https://scorebooklive.com/mississippi/girls-basketball/games/5157322-crystal-springs-vs-pelahatchie). That close finish suggests this one could come down to late-game execution.
