These two schools are less than 15 minutes apart and the intensity of this rivalry is the strongest in town. The Coyotes remain number one in the CIF-Southern Section Western Division poll. The Chargers toil in the shadow of Calabasas, which is bizarre since the Bolts lead the all-time series 23-5 against the school on Mulholland Drive. Calabasas was looking to continue their winning streak into another year.
