What to watch / recent form

The Islanders and Red Hawks last met Dec. 20 at Sammamish High, where Mercer Island posted a 62-48 win. Expect Mercer Island to try to build on that momentum at home; Sammamish will be looking for adjustments and a road-response in this rematch. Both teams have upcoming league tests the following weekend — Mercer Island visits Newport-Bellevue on Jan. 23 and Sammamish hosts Inglemoor on Jan. 23 — so league positioning is on the line.
