Why this one matters

This Central Coast matchup brings two familiar rivals to a neutral college venue at Cal Poly. Last season’s meeting — Oct. 4, 2024, at St. Joseph High School — ended in a 44-0 victory for the Knights, a result the Royals will be eager to avenge on their home listing. Both programs play tough, fundamental football, and the college setting adds an extra layer of atmosphere for players and fans.
