Honorable mention

What he did: Garcia led Adamson, which had a 31-game losing streak between 2003-06, to its first postseason berth in 28 years with a win Friday night.

The stats: Garcia compiled 311 total yards and threw three TDs in a 36-29 victory against Seagoville. With Garcia on the team, Adamson has won 12 games since 2007. From 1997-2006, the program had won only 11 times. Adamson last made the playoffs in 1981, when it was a state quarterfinalist.

He said it: "Words can't describe what this feels like. Not having made the playoffs in 28 years, and for us to make it, it feels great. All we wanted was a chance, and we were successful in getting it done."

Coach said it: "He's been our starter the last three years. He took us from 0-31 to us turning the corner. Everything that we do revolves around him." ­ Andy Gutierrez
