Notes


Mountain View opened the first round of the CCS D IV playoffs with a thrilling 36-35 victory over #5 seed San Mateo. Although Spartan quarterback Sean Manson completed 27 of 35 passes for 372 yards and three touchdowns, it was his game winning two-point conversion pass to Jeff Eckenhoff with 2:24 remaining in the game that enabled the Spartans to move on to the semifinals. Mountain View's Cody Holmes hauled in 14 passes for 237 yards and a touchdown, while Eckenhoff caught six balls for 85 yards and a touchdown. San Lorenzo Valley, the state's #5 ranked team in Division III, has allowed only 90 points this season (8.2 points per game), and the quad-league area's most balanced attack is ranked #1 with 3850 total yards of offense.

Notes


The Cowboys hope to do what Palma could not: stop WCAL Back of the Year Jarred Belser. The standout Division 1 prospect rushed for 161 yards and a touchdown in the Bell's 17-7 CCS first round victory over Palma. The Salinas defense should be up to the task: the Cowboys have allowed a quad-league best 895 yards rushing (81 Y.P.G.) this season, and only 7.8 points per game. Bellarmine quarterback Paul Gonzales (66 of 119 passes for 1,061 yards and 9 touchdowns in the regular season) demonstrated a lot of poise in the pocket, completing some very long 3rd down passes last week to keep drives alive. A Salinas victory would put the defending CCS D II champions into their first CCS Division I title game since 1979.
