I suppose you could look back at the two fourth quarter turnovers as significant for Pacific Grove.
After all, Santa Cruz did score the go-ahead touchdown on one and ran out the clock with the other.
But the bottom line is Santa Cruz played better and deserved to win the game. That might have been the best defense I've seen this year.
Remember this was the same Santa Cruz team that knocked off defending CCS champion Seaside in the first round and the only unbeaten, untied team in the CCS in Del Mar last week.
Yeah, I know, Pacific Grove lost its third straight CCS title game. But let me ask you this. How many teams and coaches do you think would trade places with them just for the shot at playing for a title?
That's what I thought.
Pacific Grove was the last team in Monterey County still practicing last week. It was one of only eight in the CCS still playing.
Eight out of 75 plus teams. I'll take that.
