Why this game matters
San Joaquin Memorial and Justin Garza meet for a nonleague test that could reveal depth and tempo for both programs as they head deeper into the fall schedule. The Panthers and Guardians both enter the game looking to establish rhythm — San Joaquin Memorial brings its program tradition and Justin Garza will have the home-field edge at Central Koligian.
Last meeting
The teams last met on Oct. 21, 2022, when San Joaquin Memorial rolled to a 51-7 victory at Memorial. That lopsided result gives Justin Garza a clear target heading into Friday: tighten up defensively and sustain drives on offense.
