Best matches
Friday
No. 3 De La Salle (3-3, 0-0) 14th place California (5-1, 1-0), 7 p.m.: a Mary-Stockton’s 45-35 loss last week was De La Salle’s third against Norcal this season and fifth in the past 13 months, showing once again that Spartan’s indomitable days in the northern part of the state are over. If California defeats De La Salle on Friday, it will eliminate the last remnants of the Spartan Mystery: an unbeaten streak in the North Coast Division play that has been in existence since Pittsburgh’s defeat of De La Salle in 1991. Jayden Macedo Throwed for 10 touchdowns and not intercepted, the DLS midfielder doesn’t seem to be able to count on him to give defending chances. running back Divan Love He’s run for 364 yards as a reliable backside option and he’s also a ballhawk on a defense that features lunging passes like Brody Bartosz (4.0 bags). running back Charles Greer He is De La Salle’s most aggravated player in attack, but the Spartans will need to pause from a defense that struggled to do so last week. Notre Dame commits Cooper Flanagan He will have a chance to influence the match as a defensive lineman when he doesn’t play at the end. – Joseph Decos
No. 15 Clayton Valley Charter (3-3, 1-0) at No. 6 San Ramon Valley (5-1, 0-0), 7 p.m.: Fans attending the EBAL Mountain Friday night showdown between Clayton Valley and San Ramon Valley may want to plan to be there a little later. Both teams will put the ball in the air. SRV Junior Quarterback Luke Baker, a short short committed to Santa Clara, thrown for 2,010 yards — 335 yards per game — and 21 touchdowns. Last week, he beat the talented McClemmonds defense for 513 yards and five TDs in a 45-42 defeat. Clayton Valley Large Christian Aguilar He moved from Pittsburgh after defeating the Ugly Eagles in the North Coast Division Playoffs last year. His pass counts are 1,525 yards — 254.2 yards per game — and 13 touchdowns. The Uglies claimed their second win in a row last week after a 1-3 start. They seem to be settling into their new offensive line, which includes a lot of passing. In fact, for the first time since 2016, the CVC will not have a rear run of 1,000 yards. Clayton Valley also played a tough slate. This should be a great game with two good coaches (CVC’s Tim Murphy and SRV’s Aaron Baker), two talented midfielders and a slew of excellent receivers. This game may take a few extra minutes to play, and it may be well worth it. – Mike Lefko
No. 13 Acalanes (6-0, 1-0) at No. 7 Campulindo (6-0, 1-0), 7 p.m.: This person will most likely decide the Diablo Athletic League Foothill Division. The Acalanes advanced by six games, outperforming rivals 215-62. Campolindo wasn’t as dominant as he was, scoring 197 points and allowing 113. But the cougars successfully navigate a timeline that includes Aptos and Windsor. Campo Kevin Messi and Acalanes’ Floyd Burnside Among the best coaches in the Gulf region. Campo had the upper hand in this match, winning 11 of the 13 matches between the two teams. Trevor Rogers It was the primary offensive weapon of the Acalanes. The junior has 31 receptions for 638 yards and 10 touchdowns. Acalanes contains two powerful QBs. Both are young. Sully Bailey It passed 917 yards and eight TDs. Jake Bocelli Thrown for 443 yards and four TDs. Campo Dashiell Weaver It has passed 1,435 yards and 17 TDs. Ruby Maceroni It is his favorite target. The Big 6-3 had 33 passes for 728 yards (22.1 yards per reception) and nine TDs. Two-thirds of the Campo attack is through the air. The Calpreps.com computer picks the Acalanes to win 24-17. – Darren Sabedra
No. 11 Archbishop Mette (5-1, 2-1) vs No. 12 Bellarmine (3-3, 2-1) at SJCC, 7 p.m.: Bellarmine scored 10 points in his last two matches, albeit one against leaders Serra. The Bales lost to Serra 28-7 last week after beating Archbishop Riordan 3-0 in their previous match. RB Ben Pfaf He did not play against Serra after sustaining an early ankle injury against Riordan. Pfaff mode is week to week, coach Jalal Buchmann He said after the match Sera. Bellarmine will likely need more than three points to beat Mitte, who topped Riordan 34-13 last week after falling at the Serra 35-7 a week ago. Wills Towers Throwed for 269 yards and three TDs – two to Danny Scudero – In victory over Riordan. Scudero finished with four grabs for 125 yards. Bellarmine is 11-7-1 against Mitty in the MaxPreps era (2004-present) and won last year’s game between the two teams 42-24. Calpreps.com computer takes Mitty, 28-14. – Darren Sabedra
No. 17 Half Moon Bay (5-1, 1-1) at Menlo School (4-2, 1-0), 3 p.m.: These teams have played 13 matches since 2005. On only three occasions the match was decided by one score. Half Moon Bay won all three. The schools split the other ten competitions. Most of them were one-sided. None of the last four – two wins per team – were closer than 17 points. Will it be more than the same Friday? Half Moon Bay seems to have improved a lot after consecutive .500 seasons. There are no cakes left in the Cougars table, but a win over Menlo makes the regular season 9-1 a distinct possibility. The Knights were set to take a step back after last year’s 12-1 season. With that, they are 20-4 under the third year coach Todd Smithand senior Jake Bianchiwho replaced Sergio Beltran In the quarterback, he passes 208.3 yards per game. He threw 11 TD passes. Menlo’s defeats came in East Bay, 38-14 at Freedom and 14-6 at Amador Valley. This is not a good sign for knights. Computer calpreps.com ranks Half Moon Bay 143 in California, well above Amador Valley (173) or Freedom (178). The Cougars prefer to run, averaging 271.5 yards per game rushing to 97.3 ypg. big PJ . Modena He rushes for 809 yards and nine TDs, and six of his teammates also have accelerating TDs. – Mike Lefko
Live Oak (5-1, 1-0) in Santa Teresa (4-2, 1-0), 7 p.m.: Two of the best teams in the Mount Hamilton region of the Blossom Valley Athletic League rely on miserable defenses in play. live ok Keaton Dietz And the Raymond Ramirez They both have a pick of six this season. Jordan Fuentes He leads the team with 704 flush yards and has also come back from kick-off to touch down. Meanwhile, Santa Teresa has ceded a total of 16 points over the last three games thanks to a solid defense. safety Joshua Reyes Averages approximately 10 tackles per game, corner backs Noah Garder He has a recovery and an objection. Jeffrey Kerr He has five sacks and seven tackles to lose on a defense with 14 sacks a season. Live Oak defeated Oak Grove 41-14 last week. Goodbye Santa Teresa. – Joseph Decos
