What to watch and a quick note to fans

Expect Simmons to try to replicate the defensive intensity that produced that lopsided win last season. South Delta will look for answers on both ends and a better start in the first quarter than what showed up in the last meeting. Keep an eye on in-game updates at the ScoreBookLive game page.
