Why this one matters

Santa Monica and Valencia/Valencia meet in what should be an energetic nonleague test for both programs. The teams last met on Dec. 16, 2023, when Santa Monica posted a 45-27 win — a recent result either side will remember as they look to tune up midseason. Santa Monica heads into the week with a Jan. 21 trip to Lawndale on the schedule; Valencia/Valencia returns home to face Hart on Jan. 20.
