Saldate’s biggest impact last Friday came on the defensive side of the football. He hauled in what proved to be a pivotal interception while up 21-14 in the third quarter.

They will now travel to take on Alisal (10-2). One of Alisal’s two losses this season was to Palma in the regular season 42-15.

It was an instant classic between St. John Bosco and Centennial, with the Braves coming out with a 43-42 victory.
