Hartnell-MPC football

 Hartnell (6-3) at MPC (4-5), Saturday, 6 p.m.
 Last year Hartnell beat MPC to gather a share of the conference title. Could the roles be reversed on Saturday, creating a potential three-way tie with Cabrillo?
 During the Panthers four-game winning streak in the Coast Conference, the defense has allowed just 10 points.
 On the season, Hartnell has forced 28 turnovers and is plus 13 in turnover ratio. Sheldon Wynn and Michael Benabides have combined for five interceptions and five fumble recoveries.
 Offensively Deandre Mann has 1,071 rushing yards and 17 total touchdowns. QB Josh Correia has thrown for 1,630 yards and 13 touchdowns, four to Da'Quan Smith.
 MPC is 4-0 when a running back rushes for over 100 yards, winless when it doesn't. Last week Don Carter had touchdown runs of 35 and 75 yards.
 Defensively Nathan Delside and David Donahue have combined for nine sacks while defensive back Andre Loudenback has four interceptions for 138 return yards.
 However, the Lobos are minus 12 in turnover ratio.
