How do both teams handle adversity?
 Carmel
 Has trailed in the first quarter three times this year, including two of its last three games.

Against Monte Vista last week, it took 3:12 to tie the game. After Monte Vista tied the game at 21, Carmel outscored them 31-7 during a 16 minute stretch.
 And against Salinas, the Padres ran off 17 straight points after trailing 7-0.
Palma
 Overcame a 10-0 halftime deficit to St. Joseph by rallying for 14 second half points.
 Starring at a 14-7 deficit to Salinas in the second quarter, the Chieftains ran off 32 straight points.
 Palma erupted for 42 unanswered points after spotting Alvarez a 6-0 lead.
 And in their loss to San Benito, the Chieftains actually held a 6-0 and 12-7 lead in a 13-12 setback.
