For the second consecutive season, the season ended for the Pacifica football team in the CIF-SS Division 10 semifinals.

Pacifica traveled to Riverside on Friday to face Hillcrest and lost, 39-20, at Hillcrest High.

The Mariners fell to St. Anthony in the semifinals in 2024.

Pacifica finished this season 9-4 overall and won the Omicron League championship for the second consecutive time.

“I’m thankful I had the opportunity to work with such an amazing group of young men, particularly the seniors,” Pacifica coach Kyle Murphy said. “They poured their hearts into this program for the last three years and this season was a culmination of that work.”

Mike Lee had two rushing touchdowns for the Mariners, including a long touchdown run that cut Hillcrest’s lead to 16-14 in the first quarter.
