ACCAL

De Anza (0-7, 0-4) at Berkeley (6-1, 3-0), 5:30 p.m.

Last week: De Anza lost to Pinole Valley 49-15; Berkeley beat Alameda 52-0

Notes: The Dons were tied 7-7 with Pinole Valley after a quarter last week after Greg Vidal hit Demario Williams with a 17-yard touchdown pass. To compete with Berkeley, De Anza will need Vidal to make plays with his arm, hitting Williams and the ACCAL’s leading receiver, Tommy Phimpavahn. The Yellowjackets appear nearly unbeatable in the ACCAL after a 52-0 win over Alameda. Berkeley continues to be a force on the ground and Rickey Galvin continues to emerge as a legit threat on every carry. He is averaging 8.3 yards per carry and is second in the league with 759 yards after 142 against the Hornets.

Durkin’s prediction: Berkeley 48, De Anza 7

Monte Vista (7-0, 4-0 EBAL) at De La Salle (6-1, 4-0), 7 p.m.

MVAL
Washington (4-4, 4-0 MVAL) at James Logan (3-4, 3-0 MVAL), 7 p.m.
Last week: Washington beat Kennedy 35-12; Logan beat Mission 49-0

The Huskies are led by QB David Ross (1,656 passing yards) and WR Rahsaan Vaughn (35 receptions for 639 yards). Logan’s defense ranks tops in the MVAL (173.1 yards and 14.4 points allowed per game). The Colts are led on offense by junior QB Jonathan Willis who has 592 rushing yards with a 7.3 average per carry.

Capsules with more information to come later, but here’s some stuff to chew on.

The final two undefeated Mission Valley Athletic League teams square off tonight at 7 at James Logan High.
Visiting Washington, which started out the year with four straight nonleague losses, have won four straight in MVAL action and brings in a 4-4 overall mark and a 4-0 league record.
It’s been almost the same story for Logan, which went 0-4 in nonleague games. The Colts’ first win of the season came in Week 3, a 17-3 win over Newark Memorial. Logan enters with a 3-4 overall record and is 3-0 in MVAL play. Read the rest of this entry »
