"It was an incredible season, an incredible group of guys," head coach Mark Lopez said. "These guys have worked tremendously on and off the field to really try to chase greatness and in a lot of ways we achieved it. I thought we played well all three phases of the game all season long and that's credit to the coaching staff, I think we have the best coaching staff in the state of New Mexico. I'm super proud of those dudes as well."

The Gadsden Panthers met the Roswell Coyotes in the semi-finals, they fell 49-21. However, the Panthers have a lot to be proud of as this was its first time making a semi-finals appearance in 50 years.
