It’s been 36 years since the Fillmore Flashes went to the semi finals. They traveled to 29 Palms but were defeated 27-21, in what you might call one tough but well played game. The Flashes never gave up and fought until the very end. The Flashes ended their greatest season in the 86 year history of the program with a 10 and 3 record, 3343 yards rushing (school record) and 1419 yards passing (school record) for a grand total of 4762 yards of total offense (school record). The Flashes scored 443 points (school record); Nathan Ibarra set a school record with 72 completions out of 142 attempts for 1419 yards. Noah Aguirre set a school record with 30 receptions for 521 yards; Jose “Froggy” Estrada had 62 of 65 PAT attempts (school record). The defense had a total of 1029 tackles 59 for a loss, 18 sacks, 11 interceptions, and 14 fumble recoveries. Christian Prado had a school record 181 tackles 15 for a loss. According to Coach Dollar “ It was a great year for the Flashes, 29 Palms was a physical athletic team with the toughest defense we faced all year, it is a hard loss for us but the team should be nothing but proud of their hard work and effort it was a privilege coaching them.”
