San Benito-North Salinas football

Friday's game
San Benito (8-0) vs. North Salinas (3-5) at Rabobank, 7:30 p.m.
 The Balers used the bye week to evaluate the season. Don't look for to many adjustments, not when you're 8-0 and lead the Gabilan Division in points (294) and least amount given up (117).
 Hunter Nye has put together a season to remember with over 1,300 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns this fall for San Benito.
 It's no secret where the ball is going for the Balers. Yet, no one has been able to contain Nye, who has rushed for over 100 yards in all eight games -- 200 plus yards in two games.
 Tim Burkhardt is a warrior for North Salinas. The quarterback has played on a severe ankle sprain the last two games, keeping them in the playoff hunt with second half dramatics two weeks ago.
 The Vikings have been forced to play from behind much of the season, having been outscored 71-34 in the first quarter.
 Erik Delgadillo has given the North Salinas' ground game a little life of late. But this team will go as far as Burkhardt can take them.
