Week 3 By The Numbers

31 Gonzales (15) and Watsonville (16) have combined for 31 rushing touchdowns, which is one rushing touchdown less than their combined pass attempts (32).
29  It was a tough week to be a quarterback, as local signal callers threw 29 interceptions over the weekend.
16 Entering week three of the season, 16 of 26 teams have a sub .500 overall record. Perennial CCS title contenders SLV and Palma are a combined 1-5.
13  The Gonzales defense has allowed an area-best 13 points this season in three games. The North Monterey County defense is second best in the area, having allowed only 28 points.
6 After completing the first two weeks of the season without a kick return for a score, area players returned 6 punts and kickoffs for touchdowns in week three. Leading the pack was Gilroy's Robert Daluz, who returned two punts (45 and 82 yards) for touchdowns in a 30-6 victory over San Lorenzo Valley.
2 Local papers were split over who to put at #1 after Palma's 14-7 loss to Serra. The Salinas Californian kept Palma at #1, while the Monterey County Herald moved Seaside into the #1 spot. Palma's two losses were at the hands of the #1 and #12 ranked teams in Northern California (Cal-Hi), and sport a combined record of 6-0. Seaside opponents have a combined record of 2-8. Watsonville opponents have a combined record of 4-4-1. Both are quality teams and deserving of recognition, hence our decision. Seaside and Watsonville face stiffer tests this week: the Spartans host Hollister, and Watsonville travels to SLV in an attempt to break the Cougar's 46 game SCCAL unbeaten streak.
1 The West Catholic Athletic League is widely regarded as the top football league in Northern California. The WCAL just completed an impressive 21-4 preseason vs. non-league opponents, with two of the losses coming at the hands of defending national champion De la Salle. Salinas became the 1st southern CCS team to pin a loss on the WCAL this season with a 21-14 victory over Mitty. The overall southern CCS record this preseason vs. the WCAL is a dismal 1-6.
