Alvarez-Menlo football

Friday's game

 A balanced attack includes sophomore tailback Charlie Ferguson, who has rushed for just under 200 yards, averaging 9.1 yards a touch.
 Alvarez, who was undefeated on the road last year, has won its last 12 regular season games, having score 64 points in its last five quarters.
 Anchored by hard-hitting linebacker Rene Chavez and ball hawking safety Edric Gamble, the Eagles defense has allowed just one touchdown.
