Why this one matters

St. Joseph comes in with momentum after a 24-0 victory in the teams’ last meeting on Sept. 6, 2024, at St. Joseph HS (game recap: https://scorebooklive.com/california/football/games/4341834-hanford-vs-st-joseph). Hanford will be looking to defend home turf and respond after that loss. This is a valuable early-season test for both JV programs as they build depth and evaluate young talent.
