Stopping Daniel Breaux today is a priority for Stevenson, but not the focal point. The bruising tailback is averaging 12.1 yards each time he touches the ball for Greenfield.
But don't look for the 225-pound Breaux to run the ball 25 times. What makes him effective is how the Bruins use him. The MTAL's leading rusher is averaging just 13 carries a game.
In part, because three other backs have combined for nearly 800 yards. As a result the Bruins often have at least three five-plus minute drives during a game.
Monterey has taken a liking to playing its home games -- well at home instead of MPC. A win today over Watsonville will push the Toreadores home record to 4-0.
What happened to the winless Wildcatz? Remember, they shared the MBL title last year with Seaside. Dating back to last year, they have dropped eight straight.
A win tonight against winless Gavilan will keep MPC undefeated in the Coast Conference, setting the stage for a showdown in eight days against unbeaten San Jose City.
Don't count out Hartnell, whose only conference loss was a three-point setback to San Jose. It still has a meeting with the Lobos in two weeks.
A changing of the guard could be occurring today at the Tri-County Athletic League cross country championships at Toro Park. San Benito just has too much depth for reigning boys champion Salinas to overcome.
Watch defending champion Anna Welsh of Monterey in the MBL girls finals.
