Alisal-Scotts Valley football

Friday's game
Alisal (3-2) at Scotts Valley (3-2), 7:30 p.m.
 Judging by the amount of passes that both teams have thrown this year, it might feel like a running clock is being used in this Mission Division battle.
 Half of Julian Renteria's four completions this fall have gone for touchdowns for Alisal, while Kyle Rajala has thrown 10 passes all season for the Falcons, tossing two touchdown passes.
 While both teams are heavily run oriented systems, they're different. Alisal is more of a veer offense while Scotts Valley is a point of attack running game.
 The two losses Scotts Valley has absorbed this year are to teams a combined 10-0 while Alisal went 2-2 against four 'A' League opponents.
 The number 21 has come up big in the last two games for the Trojans, outscoring Seaside 21-0 in the second half, and putting up 21 straight points in the first half last week against North Salinas.
 Dorian Segovia has rushed for 10 touchdowns from his fullback position for Alisal, running behind an offensive line anchored by 330-pound Isaac Duenas.
 The third quarter has been big for Alisal, having outscored opponents 55-23. The Falcons have only scored six points in the third quarter all year.
 Injuries have riddled Scotts Valley, who brought up a second string junior varsity tailback to fill a void in the backfield.
 Rajala has rushed for 154 yards and shares the team lead in touchdowns with three. This is the first meeting ever between these two schools.
