What to watch / flavor
This matchup is a rematch of the teams’ last meeting on Jan. 4, 2023, when Channel Islands posted a 71-27 win (game details: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/3030400-nordhoff-vs-channel-islands). That result gives the Raiders recent historical momentum in this pairing, but high school basketball rosters turn over quickly — expect both teams to be looking for statement minutes and to fine-tune their rotations early in league play. The game will be played in Ojai; check local forecasts for conditions if you plan to attend.
