Why this one matters

Salinas and Christopher meet for the first time in the 2025-26 season, renewing a rivalry in Gilroy. Their last meeting came Nov. 30, 2024, at Salinas High School, where the Cowboys took a 51-31 win. That game still looms large for both programs, and each team will look to set the tone early in nonleague play.
