What to watch

In their most recent meeting, Aug. 21, 2024, El Capitan left Santee with a 35-7 victory over Santana. That result gives the Vaqueros some momentum heading into this nonleague matchup, and Santana will be looking for a home bounce-back. No official records are listed for the 2025 season in the ScoreBookLive data provided, so this one shapes up as an early test for both programs.
