The tears told the story. Our season was suddenly over. On a very cold, clear night in Merced, California our Merced High Bears were going to walk on that football field and give Merced what we've been wanting for a long time. A Sac-Joaquin Section Division I Playoff WIN!
For the second straight year, Stockton St. Mary's came into Stadium '76 and walked away with a win in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division I playoffs.
The final score: St. Mary's 35, Merced 24.
This one really hurt. The Merced defense came up with big turnovers with an interception and a recovery in the first half. However, the penalties continued to plague our guys, including six false start penalties in the first half alone!! We're 42-7 the last Four years! That's hard to do. It's hard to get to this game. I don't think people realize how hard it is to get to the section finals and no matter what, WE are very proud of our guys and the coaches. It's so sad because most of these boys have played with each other since they were 9 years old. It's amazing because they all treat each other like brothers.
~To the Merced Bears Football teams, We are VERY proud of your hard work~
