Zach Hoffpauir\\\\\\\'s 71-yard return out of the end zone keys 10-3 win over Marcos de Niza in Class 5A-II quarterfinal.
When Yuma Catholic had to make a play Saturday afternoon the Shamrocks came up aces in their bid to beat Thatcher and reach the 2A state championship football game.
Special teams were as critical as any facet helping Yuma Catholic score two touchdowns in a 2 1/2 minute span of the third period and that propeled the Shamrocks to a harrowing 22-20 win over the Eages at North Canyon High School.
