One of the highlights of Alonso’s turbulent season was a 35-10 victory over Newsome. The two teams meet against in the first round of the playoffs Friday night, but this time, the Ravens are a different football team. At least their roster is.

Gone is Jesse Anaya, the senior running back/receiver who quit the team a couple of weeks ago. But the Ravens have gained defensive end Anthony Chickillo and receiver Franklin Mosley.

Chickillo and Mosley missed the regular season meeting against Newsome with injuries. Since his return on Oct. 23 from a broken collarbone, Chickillo’s added seven sacks to his season total of 11. Mosley also returned on Oct. 23 after recovering from a broken hand. In four games, he has 13 receptions for 115 yards and two touchdowns.
“Both of them are great players,” Alonso coach Mike Heldt said. “They’ve been playing great football once they came back. It’s going to help.”

So will having receiver Dylan Fisher back in the lineup. Fisher missed last week’s regular-season finale against Armwood with a concussion, an injury he sustained in Alonso’s 42-6 victory against Gaither on Nov. 6.
