What to watch

The teams last met on Dec. 11, 2024, at Palm Springs High, a game Yucaipa won 85-38 (game details: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/4282630-yucaipa-vs-palm-springs). That lopsided result gives the Thunderbirds a clear thread of momentum to reference, but nonleague games this time of year often produce surprises as rosters settle in and coaches experiment with lineups.
