After experimenting with a new spread offense for their first three games of the season, the Martin Tigers decided to go old school with a surprise return to the double wing formation.

Camarillo finished the game with 120 passing yards, completing 8 of 21 attempts, in addition to adding two touchdown runs of 19 and 51 yards, respectively.
United South tailbacks Luis Castillo and Paul Lopez shared rushing duties evenly. Lopez had 16 yards and a touchdown on eight carries and Castillo had 33 yards on eight.

Tailback Mario Trevino led the Tigers with 32 yards on eight carries a
