After sharing the Channel League title last season the Santa Barbara High and Pacifica football teams were well aware of the importance of winning their much-anticipated matchup.
The visiting Tritons seized the opportunity, snuffing out Santa Barbara’s second half comeback to claim a 28-15 in the Channel League opener for both teams.
“There’s not much to look for in a loss. We’re not looking for any comfort,” said Santa Barbara coach Nate Mendoza. “We kind of slept in the first half. {Sammie Congdon} woke us up with the big touchdown and unfortunately we lost him {to injury).”
