Notes and context

Both teams enter the tournament fresh at 0-0; there’s no last-meeting data listed, so this could be a first-time matchup or the first recorded meeting in SBLive’s database. Expect an early-season feel as coaches settle rotations and look for players to stake roles for the winter. Weather won’t be a factor for an indoor high school gym, and travel is minimal for Colusa playing at home.

What to watch

Look for opening-game energy and which players emerge as go-to scorers in the first half of the season. Home-court advantage can matter in early-season tournament play, so Colusa’s familiarity with its gym could be an edge.
