South Umpqua at St. Mary’s — Girls basketball preview (Jan. 6, 2026)

SBLive Report,

St. Mary's School -

South Umpqua travels to St. Mary’s for a nonleague meeting at 5:30 p.m. PT Tuesday, Jan. 6, at St. Mary’s School in Medford. The St. Mary’s Crusaders host the South Umpqua Lancers in what should be a physical, low-post battle as both teams open the new calendar looking to build momentum.

In their last meeting, St. Mary’s knocked off South Umpqua 45-33 on Jan. 7, 2025. That result gives the Crusaders a recent edge, but high-school hoops can change quickly midseason. The game site and weather are listed for Medford, Ore., on the official game page — check there if conditions are a concern.
