DIVISION III CHAMPIONSHIP

Notre Dame, which lost to Camarillo in the Division III final last season, gets its shot for redemption against a team that finished fourth in the Northern League. Notre Dame, Mission League champion, has won seven consecutive games. Justin Fargas has rushed for 2,738 yards and 35 touchdowns. David DeMartinis has passed for 2,028 yards and 20 touchdowns with only three passes intercepted. Tony Arredondo is the top receiver with 51 catches for 691 yards and four touchdowns. Arroyo Grande upset top-seeded Newbury Park in the first round. The Eagles use a misdirection running attack that rotates six runners. Seniors Corey Lawrence and Mike McCreery are the top ground-gainers, having combined for 1,755 yards. Senior cornerback Nick Cornwell intercepted five passes while covering Newbury Park standout Jake Farrel. Up front is 6-foot-5, 260-pound Mark Rush. Said Eagle Coach Jon Huss: “The chances of us beating them aren’t very good.”
