Soquel has plenty to be happy about as they take home their first state title, Northern California title and CCS Section Title in school history and will go down as one of the best teams to ever come out of Santa Cruz. Palma proved to just be too much for Mission Oak as they have no shortage of firepower on offense, and a young freshman running back that will be atop the CCS prospect ranks for the next several years.

***The entire Palma offensive line was a big reason why they were able to put up 40+ points against a stout Mission Oak defense and rush for over 200+ yards on the day. This unit was able to move the line of scrimmage all night, control blockers and create consistent vertical push for Dukes and company.***
