2011 Playoffs:
Bi-District: BYE
Area: vs. La Villa WON 64-20
Regionals: vs. Ganado WON 7-0
Quarterfinals: vs. Shiner WON 55-7
Semifinals: vs. Garrison WON 46-14

Mike Says: Mason will feature running back David Mora. They have been routing teams in the playoffs except for pre-seaon top pick Ganado. Stamford has been playing great behind quarterback Hagen Hutchinson (3078 passing, 1323 rushing 62 total touchdowns and WR/DB Jesse Ramos (90-1702 21 TD receiving, 8 INTs). They were able to knock out defending champ Mart by 19 last week. I like Stamford a lot but David Mora will lead the way to the championship. The PUNCHERS win 28-21!!!

Chris Says: We said when they played Ganado that game would determine the state champion. Sure, there is a lot of press surrounding Stamford, but once again, we have to go with our prediction. I won't be surprised if Stamford gets the win because they are a flat out great team, but I think Mason finishes the job. PUNCHERS win 21-14!!!
