What to watch: The not-always accurate comparative score prediction method would point to a decisive Alemany victory. The Warriors (4-0) are fresh off a 45-28 win against Centennial (Corona), the team that beat St. Bonaventure in week 2. Alemany's field general is senior quarterback
Alif Grayes, who had more than 350 combined passing and rushing yards and two touchdowns against Centennial. St. Bonaventure scored almost at will against Centennial,
but still came up on the short end of a 69-55 decision. That's not a basketball score, either. But it was St. Bonaventure's defense that came up big in last week's 35-24 win over Atascadero, shutting the Greyhounds out in the second half.
Just the facts: Alemany is playing one of the toughest schedules in California. Its 10 regular-season opponents combined for an 88-33-1 record last season. … St. Bonaventure has had at least one player go on to play football at the FBS level every year since 1993.
