Sweeping the Toreadores last year catapulted Alisal to its third straight league title.
Any thoughts of a four-peat could depend on tonight's outcome for the Trojans, who sit two games behind visiting Monterey in the Gabilan Division with six to play.
Alisal, who has lost just one league home game in the last four years, tuned up for its anticipated meeting with a 49-point win over Monte Vista last Wednesday.
The undefeated Toreadores posted a 17-point win over Palma, who upset Alisal eight days ago.
Both teams like to push the pace and apply pressure defense, relying on baskets in transition.
The Trojans can be lethal when running their offense through 6-foot-9 Sebastian Reynoso, who is averaging over 21 points game.
What's overlooked in Reynoso's game is his ability to kick it back out when doubled team, feeding the likes of Josue Gil-Silva and his 18 plus points a night.
In need of another option, the Trojans brought up Anthony Martinez from the junior varsity and the sophomore responded with a 14-point effort, knocking down four 3-point goals.
Monterey is coming at you with an arsenal of scoring options, starting with Mohammed Adam and his 18 plus points a night.
Four players have connected on 20 or more 3-point goals for the Toreadores, including Adams, who has a team high 35 and Tahjae Ordonio (34).
Evans Charles is productive in the paint and gets to the free throw line, while Kenny Garrard has come off the bench along with Jalen Killian to provide offense.
