Week 11 Notes and Key Stats

Pacific Grove's win over Burlingame was only the second Breaker playoff victory since the inception of the CCS in 1972. Pacific Grove's first win came back in 1974 in a first round showdown with MBL champion Soquel at Monterey Peninsula College. A crowd of 8000+ watched Gary Nair, one of the greatest athletes to come out of Pacific Grove High, score 5 touchdowns in a 51-33 victory over the Knights. Nair had touchdown runs of 6, 71, 18, and 1 yard, and caught a 63 yard touchdown pass from another Pacific Grove legend, Bobby Pappas. Pacific Grove ended up losing to Awalt 26-8 in a semifinal game played at Spartan stadium (credit to www.cifccs.org for their extensive on-line CCS playoff history).

Wilcox averaged 1.62 yards per play on offense against Salinas, while allowing 11 yards per play on defense. Wilcox ran the ball 36 times and only managed 72 yards.

Palma has won 4 consecutive D1 playoff games with a combined margin of victory of 10 points (7-6 over Bellarmine, 14-10 over Valley Christian, 15-14 over Oak Grove, 26-22 over Milpitas). Palma is pursuing its 9th CCS football title.
