What to watch

Both teams enter the matchup with fresh 0-0 records on the schedule. The last time these programs met was Nov. 17, 2023, at Garfield High, when Whittier walked away with a 29-19 win (game recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/3344622-whittier-vs-garfield). That meeting gives Whittier some confidence, but nonleague games this time of year are often where rosters and rotations get their first real tests.
