San Lorenzo
Valley quarterback Mike Crisler needs 170 yards passing in the
CCS DIV championship game to reach the 2000 yard plateau. Crisler also
leads the area with 23 touchdown passes. |

Salinas turned
the ball over 6 times in a 35-17 CCS D1 semifinal loss last week
to Bellarmine, giving the Cowboys an area worst 31 turnovers for the
season. A testament to the strength of the Salinas defense is the fact
that the Cowboys surrendered the second-fewest points in the quad-league
area despite the 31 offensive turnovers. |

riding an 8-game winning streak at the CCS DIV level. |
