Why this one matters

The two programs meet with fresh pages on the schedule; their most recent matchup came last season at Churchill High School, when South Eugene edged Churchill, 46-37, on Dec. 27, 2024. (Game details: https://scorebooklive.com/oregon/girls-basketball/games/4618991-south-eugene-vs-churchill.) That result gives the Axe a recent edge in the brief series, and Friday’s game offers Churchill a chance for immediate revenge on South Eugene’s home floor.
