MaxPreps also flagged venue impact ahead of the rematch: "The rematch might be a little tougher for the Elks/Elkettes since the squad won't have the home-court advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference." For viewers, MaxPreps' how-to-watch guidance is explicit: "HOW TO WATCH: This game will be live streamed on the NFHS Network, the official streaming partner of the NM Activities Assn.
