Why this one matters
Both teams open their conference slate with eyes on momentum. Sonoma Valley (Dragons) will host the Bulldogs in what should be a physical, neighborhood rivalry atmosphere — local bragging rights are on the line. The teams last met on Aug. 27, 2021, when Sonoma Valley beat San Rafael, 21-13 (full recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/football/games/1164667-san-rafael-vs-sonoma-valley). Use that result as context, not prophecy; rosters and coaching staffs can change dramatically in four years.
