It might not be that high-scoring, but I think both defenses are going to have a difficult time stopping the opposing offenses. Mart gets it done with a potent running game, while Stamford shows more balance but is really potent in the passing game. Quarterback Hagen Hutchinson was the AP 1A state offensive player of the year, and he threw for five touchdowns without an interception against Mart last season. ]]> <![CDATA[4:00 Jason Orts]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:00:13 GMT Mart comes on the field, through a giant paper sign that said five golden rings, with an X through the five and a big red six underneath it. Had a big Christmas tree with six golden state championship rings on it. Nicely done by the Mart cheerleaders. ]]> <![CDATA[4:01 Comment From David Ash]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:01:01 GMT <![CDATA[4:04 David Ash]]> Thu, 20 Dec 2012 22:04:11 GMT Mart offense will receive.
