D2 next week
Palma faces Menlo School (Atherton) who defeated Christopher 21-14
Wilcox (defeated Santa Teresa 36-3) faces Menlo-Atherton (defeated Monterey 35-7)

Palma got the best draw after beating SHC. Wilcox defeated both Menlo and Menlo Atherton in league games. Palmaand Menlo have similar Calpreps ratings. With bump Palma will be favored but I like being underdog better. Should be a good game. Soph QB and Dukes and defense showed up big tonight.

Palma got a great draw. Carmel being held to DIII made DII not as strong. Palma vs Menlo is an interesting matchup. I watched a little bit of Christopher vs Menlo last night. Menlo is going to have a tough time stopping the Palma run game. They aren't very big or fast on defense. Christopher kept trying to take deep shots which killed them but were having no problem running the ball. Menlo spreads the field on offense which Palma has struggled with. It didn't appear that they had any top tier talent at the skill positions. Palma has fast CBs but they arent the biggest or most physical. Not having to deal with a Kayvon Collins or Emarrcis Turner type of WR really helps them. Menlo likes to take deep shots.

I give the advantage to Palma. Dukes and co are too good running the ball. Palma's OL is solid. They have 3 TEs are that are all good blockers. Once Menlo starts to stack the box Palma will hit them with a PA deep shot to soften them up. They have always been known to sprinkle in the trick plays in the playoffs.
