Storyline
San Clemente will try to bounce back from an 0-1 start when the Tritons host the Capistrano Valley Cougars. Capistrano Valley enters fresh with no games on the books so far this season, giving both teams a chance to establish early league position. There’s no last-meeting data on file, so expect an opening chapter between these programs in 2026.
