Tustin (8-4) vs. Canyon (8-4)
Site, date, time: Tustin High, Friday, 7 p.m.

How they got here: Tustin – Century League tri-champion; beat Magnolia, 76-26; beat Pacifica, 49-21. Canyon - Century League tri-champion; beat Cypress, 35-17; beat Fullerton, 53-17.

By the numbers: Tustin – 47 passes attempted in 12 games this season; Canyon – 14 touchdowns (offensive or defensive) of at least 50 yards of more.

Players to watch: Tustin – RB Anthony Wilkerson has all the tools (speed, power, durability) to take over a game. He is averaging 174.9 yards per game. Canyon – WR/FS/K/P – Colton Grandbouche should have an impact in some way or another, including kickoffs. If he is able to reach the end zone, that will make the Tillers work with a long field.

Matchup to watch: Tustin’s Wing T offense vs. Canyon’s defense. The Tillers specialize in eating up yards with Wilkerson, Ameer Webb and Taylor Richardson. The key will be Canyon’s ability or inability to slow down that trio. Everybody knows the plays that are going to be called, but very few teams have been able to stop it, including Canyon earlier this season.
