What to watch

Palm Springs and La Quinta met earlier this season on Jan. 27, 2025, with the Indians taking a 42-29 decision at Palm Springs HS. That recent meeting gives the home team a blueprint to build on; La Quinta will be looking for answers on both ends as it chases a bounce-back road result. For context, Palm Springs lists another league game Friday, Dec. 19 at Yucaipa, while La Quinta’s next scheduled contest on ScorebookLive is Jan. 6 at Rancho Mirage.
