Teams

• Santiam Christian Eagles — https://scorebooklive.com/oregon/girls-basketball/teams/222214-santiam-christian-eagles

• Dayton Pirates — https://scorebooklive.com/oregon/girls-basketball/teams/182335-dayton-pirates

Why this one matters

The Eagles host the Pirates in what should be a tightly contested league matchup. The two teams last met at Santiam Christian on Jan. 31, 2025, with the Eagles edging Dayton 45-40. That recent history gives the home team a slight psychological edge, but these league nights are often decided by a handful of possessions.
