Why this one matters

Nevada Union travels to Placerville for a midweek nonleague matchup with El Dorado. The teams last met on Dec. 12, 2023, at Nevada Union, where the Miners posted a 62-21 win (recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/3538212-el-dorado-vs-nevada-union). Both programs have games on the schedule the next day — El Dorado at Bella Vista and Placer at Nevada Union — so depth and turnaround could be factors Thursday.
