No. 16 Campolindo (6-2-1, 4-1) at No. 15 Acalanes (6-3, 5-0), 7 p.m. 

Acalanes captures the Diablo Athletic League Foothill Division title with a victory. If Campo wins, the teams share the championship among themselves or with Las Lomas, which is tied with Campo for second and plays at Miramonte on Friday.

No matter the outcome, Acalanes should be one of the top seeds in the NCS Division IV playoffs.

If Campo doesn’t win, it could miss the playoffs entirely because of a crowded Open/Division I field and only eight available spots. Campo was put in the top division because of the success it had in D-II. Before that, it was put in D-II because of its success in D-III. The Cougars are the prime example of what’s good or bad about the NCS’s competitive equity model, depending on one’s point of view.

Campo faces a big challenge against Acalanes, which nearly beat the Cougars last season. Acalanes has outscored its five league opponents 235-34. Campo has scored 201 points and given up 101 in league play.

Campo will have to find a way to slow down Sully Bailey, who has passed for 2,094 yards and 25 TDs, and a group of receivers that includes track star Trevor Rogers (54 receptions, 861 yards, 11 TDs). Campo’s Isaiah Ortiz has thrown for 1,509 yards and 11 TDs. Micah Parker, a sophomore, adds balance to the Campo offense, having rushed for 700 yards and eight TDs.

Calpreps.com’s computer says Acalanes wins, 31-20.
