Alisal is also playing without its leading scorer from last year in Adrian Betancourt, who is awaiting clearance from the Central Coast Section on paper work.
In his absence are five juniors -- four of which that have been up on the varsity since their freshmen years -- led by Josue Gil-Silva.
The playmaker is coming off a career high 33 point effort in a win over Seaside, and is averaging over 18 points a game this winter.
Help has come from Ronaldo Enriquez and Vincent Gonzalez, both of which earned all-tournament honors two weeks for the Trojans.
As Israel Corona gets himself into basketball shape after an extended football season, he'll give the Trojans another offensive option along with 6-foot-4 senior Steve Castro.
With Alisal in the Gabilan Division, the Eagles could be the team to beat in the Pacific Division this winter behind Danny Aguillon and Marc Flores.
At 2-2, both of Alvarez's losses have come from teams outside the Central Coast Section. Ray Hocog has shown flashes of his scoring potential along with Devin Foster.
Alisal has won the last four meetings between the two rivals.
