Why this one matters

Both teams come into the matchup without results listed on SBLive for the 2025-26 season, making this an early-season measuring stick for league position and momentum. The two programs met last season on Feb. 12, 2025, at Hilltop (see last meeting: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/4806748-eastlake-vs-hilltop). Fans should expect a competitive rivalry atmosphere in front of a local crowd.
