Friday's game
Palma (5-3) at Monte Vista (3-5), 7:30 p.m.
During Palma's five-game winning streak, it has been forced to come from behind in the second half twice.
The bottom line is the Chieftains are undefeated in the Gabilan Division and are one win away from locking up their second straight league title and 30th straight playoff appearance.
While Brandon Olivares continues to chase the single-season school rushing record, Palma has rediscovered its passing attack behind Mitch Kidd, who has built chemistry with Ryan Scarr and Joshua Keselica.
Monte Vista's stay in the Gabilan Division could be brief. That being said, it has been competitive in most of its games this fall. Quentin MacLeod has thrown for nearly 800 yards.
The Mustangs have struggled in establishing a ground game in a physical league.
