Why this one matters
Santa Monica (home) and Inglewood (away) meet with familiar stakes — both programs pride themselves on physical defense and hustle. The teams last met on Jan. 6, 2025, at Inglewood High School, a low‑scoring affair that ended in a 2-0 Vikings win; full recap and box score from that meeting are here: https://scorebooklive.com/california/girls-basketball/games/4736691-santa-monica-vs-inglewood. Use that history as context — rivalries like this swing on turnovers and second‑chance points.
