Pregame

If we’ve said it once, we’ve said it a million times – San Clemente can never be counted out at home no matter the team it’s hosting. Look no further than 2021 when the Tritons suffered one of the more jarring regular season losses in recent program history, a 42-0 road demolition at the hands of Edison (Huntington Beach), before coming home and shocking higher-ranked Murrieta Valley 21-20 in the final minutes. With losses to Tustin and La Costa Canyon on the season, San Clemente is a fairly heavy underdog here, but it also has three quality wins already over Riverton (UT), Chaparral, and Chino Hills. No. 19 Murrieta Valley is coming off two blowout wins after starting with a 28-26 win over Rancho Cucamonga and 56-35 loss to Servite, and it could really use even more momentum before starting Big West – Upper play next week.
