North Salinas-Palma football

Friday's game
North Salinas (2-3) vs. Palma (5-0) at Rabobank Stadium, 7:30 p.m.
 They've shared three different facilities over the last three decades.
 But that's were the similarities end as the Chieftains haven't lost to North Salinas in nearly 30 years.
 Palma, which has won 11 straight Gabilan Division games, has won eight consecutive regular season games at Rabobank while North Salinas has dropped its last two at home.
 Sophomore tailback Emilio Martinez has piled up 721 yards on just 98 carries for Palma, leading the team with 11 touchdowns. And he's had a week off from the bye week.
 Palma's defense has allowed just 32 points all season. During its CCS Division I title runs in 2000 and 2001, it gave up 122 and 120 for the entire season.
 Junior quarterback Joseph Gutierrez has thrown for over 600 yards for North Salinas and leads the team in rushing.
