If you're looking for an interesting opener, this match is intriguing.
Alisal is coming off its first undefeated league season in capturing the Pacific Division, while King City has been a perennial playoff team for the last three decades.
The Mustangs have one of the marquee players in the area in Grace Shepherd, who compiled nearly 300 kills last fall as a sophomore, while setter Megan Flores and her 400 plus sets are back.
I'm not sure Alisal deserved to be thrown into the Gabilan Division this season. While perfection was achieved in the Pacific, it lost five all-leaguers to graduation.
King City has won the last six meetings between the teams. Last year was the first time Alisal took a set from them.
