Central Coast Section Division I Quarterfinals
Saturday's game
No. 6 Silver Creek (14-11) vs. No. 3 North Salinas (17-7) at Santa Clara High, 4:30 p.m.
 No county team has more experience in the postseason over the last two decades than the Vikings, who are making their 17th trip to the dance in the last 18 years under Darren Jackson.
 During this run, North Salinas has won three Central Coast Section Division I titles, and has been to the finals three of the last four years.
 It also has postseason history with Silver Creek, having faced them three straight years, falling 38-33 last year in the quarterfinals.
 The Raiders extended their season with a 59-45 win over Alisal on Thursday.
 Changes in the North Salinas lineup in the second half of the season have seen Destiny Urzua rise up and provide another offensive option alongside freshman Natalie Morales.
 While losing senior starter Jozzette Reyes to a season ending knee injury, the Vikings have rallied for their teammate, closing the season with five straight wins.
 Silver Creek, which shared the Blossom Valley Mt. Hamilton Division title, is as hot as any team in the postseason, having rattled off seven straight wins.
