Why this one matters
The Thunderbirds return to Yucaipa High looking for another strong showing against Citrus Valley. The teams last met Dec. 19, 2024, at Citrus Valley High, when Yucaipa escaped with a 24-13 victory. That recent meeting gives the Thunderbirds a blueprint they’ll try to follow; Citrus Valley will be looking for answers on both ends against a familiar foe.
