The San Jacinto Valley Academy Wolves will be defending their home-field for the first time for the first time when they go up against the Santa Rosa Academy Rangers at 10:00 a.m. on Saturday. Having both just faced considerable losses, both teams are looking to turn things around.
San Jacinto Valley Academy is headed into their home opener looking to turn things around after opening their season on the road. They were beaten by Temecula Prep 39-0 on Friday. The defeat continues a trend for the Wolves in their matchups with the Patriots: they've now lost three in a row.
