Last meeting and what to watch

These two programs last met on Sept. 10, 2021, when Valley Center left Imperial with a 28-7 win. That result gives the Jaguars a recent edge in the series, but four years can change rosters and momentum — expect coaches to lean on fundamentals in a likely physical, ground-oriented game in the desert heat.
