Every year in the Central Coast Section basketball playoffs, there’s a team that slips under the radar. A program that gets hot late in the regular season, slips into postseason play and pulls off a massive upset or two.
Soquel High’s football team made all the big plays in the second half of its showdown with North Salinas to rally past the Vikings 36-27 on senior night Saturday. And all of them were needed, as the Knights overcame deficits of 20-0 in the second quarter and 27-14 at halftime.
If you go deep, the Sharks will bite you. That’s the St. Francis High Sharks, who intercepted four long passes from Harbor in the first half and built a three-touchdown lead by halftime Friday night.
