Why this one matters

This is an early chance for both teams to set a tone for the season. The last time these programs met — Oct. 20, 2022, at Livingston — Sonora left town with a 42-8 victory, handing the Wolves a tough loss. That result gives the Wildcats a recent psychological edge, but early-season matchups often hinge on which team is farther along in fall camp.
