Pacific Grove football

The redemption factor was played down all week.
 Yet, after the game Pacific Grove's Jake Speed said it was on their minds.
 He talked about how there wasn't a dry eye in the locker room after falling 40-35 to Carmel 14 days ago.
 Realizing 35 points might not be enough, the Breakers more than doubled that total in producing 77 points in a 32-point postseason win over rival Carmel.
 No, The Shoe is not coming back to Pacific Grove.
 Who cares?
 What's important is that the Breakers will be practicing on Monday in preparation for the Monterey-Sacred Heart Prep winner for a Central Coast Section Division IV title.
 Pacific Grove looked -- dare I say -- Carmel-like on offense, scoring on its first nine drives, dictating the tempo of the game.
 Six lead changes occurred in the teams' first meeting.
 Not this time as Pacific Grove needed five plays or fewer to score on its first five drives, never trailing in the Division IV semifinal.
 Six years of frustration came to an end. But not the Breakers' season. Now it's about finishing the job.
