Why this matters

The Cougars host a familiar Peninsula opponent when Serra comes to town. The teams last met on April 22, 2021, a tight contest that ended with Half Moon Bay edging Serra, 43-38 (box score and recap from the last meeting: https://scorebooklive.com/california/basketball/games/965125-serra-vs-half-moon-bay). That history adds a little extra spice to an early-season nonleague test for both squads.
