Watertown MS -

Natick visits Watertown on Sunday, Jan. 4, 2026, for an early-season league matchup at Watertown Middle School. Tip is set for 1:15 p.m. ET (10:15 a.m. PST). Both teams enter the game with 0-0 records as they open league play at the start of the new year.

This one-off meeting has no recent head-to-head information listed, so it shapes up as a fresh test for both programs.
