What to watch

No official last-meeting information is available on the SBLive game entry, so this meeting is a fresh chance for each program to stake early-season bragging rights in league play. Both programs have upcoming games later this weekend — Fountain Valley visits Huntington Beach on Saturday (see: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5774360-fountain-valley-vs-huntington-beach) and Newport Harbor travels to Edison on Saturday (see: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/5826587-newport-harbor-vs-edison) — making Thursday’s result potentially important for momentum.
