Alisal boys soccer

 It's not reputation as much as it is performance that has warranted the perennial power Trojans a No. 3 ranking in the state and a No. 11 national ranking for all divisions by MaxPreps.
 Alisal has gone out and played some of the best teams in the state, defeating Bellarmine - the top ranked team in the state at the time - 4-2 back in December, while playing the current No. 2 ranked team in Mitty to a 2-2 tie.
 Brophy College Prep in southern California is ranked No. 1 in the state
 The Trojans also have wins over Watsonville, who has been to the CCS finals three straight years, and sent Soledad to its only setback of the season.
 Carlos Pacheco has lead a balanced offense for Alisal, leading the team in goals and assists in a 7-0-2 start, while Jose Trejo and Angel Amezcua each have produced three or more goals.
 No question the strength of this team has been its defense, having outscored opponents 37-6, shutting out five opponents, including its last two.
 Dating back to 2015, the Trojans are unbeaten in their last 25 league matches. Yet, a stunning loss in the playoffs last year to Monterey is fueling this years charge to the top.
