Alisal-Alvarez football

Friday's game
Alisal (0-1) at Alvarez (0-1). 7:30 p.m.
 The second of three straight home games for Alvarez, four of its last six losses dating back to 2013 have come at 'The Eagles Nest.'
 You have to protect your house.
 Turnovers were a throne in the Eagles side in last week's loss as two of them turned into touchdowns -- ultimately the difference in a 29-15 loss.
 Over the last two years, Alvarez had fumbled the ball away just six times.
 Alisal was even with Santa Clara last week for 24 minutes before it was outscored 27-7 in the second half. It hadn't given up 40 or more points in a game since falling last fall to Alvarez 49-6 in Week 2.
 Better decisions offensively will ignite the Eagles offense. There's too much firepower for them to be held to just 15 points. Alan Camel-Edwards is special in the open field.
 The Trojans are trying to avoid their third straight 0-2 start while Alvarez hasn't started 0-2 in three years. However, Alisal's only league title came after losing its first two games.
