When defending Division I champion Vista started the 2011 season 0-4, a chance at a repeat looked like a long shot. Against all odds The Panthers made their way back to the Q after winning seven of their next eight games. Unfortunately the Q is where their comeback season would end. Vista turned the ball over six times and allowed undefeated Poway to put up seven touchdowns in the first half alone. Poway's 56 point victory set a new San Diego section Division I title game record.

Player of the Game:

Poway Junior CB Derek Babiash

3 Interceptions, 1 returned for a TD

2011 Division II Champions

Helix Highlanders

Defeated Oceanside 44-6

Oceanside's record streak of seven straight titles came to an end after a surprising lopsided loss to Helix. This game was expected to be close but the Pirate's defense had trouble stopping the run and struggled to get their offense going. A shut out preventing goal line touchdown during the closing seconds of the game was the only time they scored. For the Highlanders this win should land them in the Division II State Championship.

Player of the Game:

Helix Junior RB Michael Adkins

Rushed for 137 yards & 2 TDs

2011 Division III Champions

Cathedral Catholic Dons

Defeated Olympian 41-0

Player of the Game:

Cathedral Catholic Senior WR Brian Heinz
