Why this one matters

This nonleague matchup pits the home Shockers against the visiting Bobcats in an early-season clash at Waterville High School. The teams last met on Dec. 6, 2022, at Waterville, when Waterville-Mansfield posted a 50-32 win. That meeting gives the Shockers recent momentum in the series, but both programs will be looking to set the tone for the rest of the season.
