Santa Clarita Christian is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of California's top teams: Avalon, who was ranked 16th in their home state at the time (Santa Clarita Christian was ranked 20th). Santa Clarita Christian fell 22-14 to Avalon on Saturday. The match marked the Cardinals' lowest-scoring game so far this season.

Chadwick's success was the result of a balanced attack that saw several players step up, but Bryson Edgar led the charge by throwing for 161 yards and three touchdowns, while also rushing for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Another back making a difference was Benjamin Wandrick, who gained 51 total yards and two touchdowns.
On the other side of the ball, a lot of the credit has to go to Chadwick's defense and their seven sacks. The heavy lifting was done by Chet Major and Taylor Bright, who racked up four sacks between them. Asher Goldberg was another major factor on D, picking up a sack, forcing three fumbles, and making 12 total tackles (4.0 for loss).
Santa Clarita Christian's defeat dropped their record down to 3-2. As for Chadwick, the win got them back to even at 2-2.
Santa Clarita Christian took a serious blow against Chadwick in their previous matchup back in November of 2023, falling 43-14.
