Why this one matters
Santa Cruz and Harbor meet at Santa Cruz High for what will be the latest chapter in their recent series. The teams last met on Jan. 2, 2024, at Santa Cruz High, with the Cardinals posting a 58-31 victory. Expect the Cardinals to try to use home energy and that previous result as a blueprint, while Harbor will look to flip the script on the road.
