A loss and the season ends short of a goal the franchise set when its formation was announced in August. “This is the start of the playoffs for us,” said Head Coach Marcus Coleman. “You either win or you go home.” The Sugar Skulls will be facing a team that dominated them on April 20, scoring on every offensive possession with only one of those scores being a field goal. The 72 points by the Steamwheelers were a season high against the Tucson defense. The loss was the third in a four-game midseason losing streak for the Sugar Skulls. Tucson came out of the skid and won three straight games to put it in playoff position despite back- to-back losses to the Arizona Rattlers, the latest a heart-breaking overtime loss in Phoenix on Saturday. “Everybody has moved on from last week,” Coleman said earlier this week. “Usually we go back and make corrections on the game before. We didn’t even watch the Arizona film. We went straight to Quad City the next day. “I like where the focus is right now. It seems like everybody’s got that tunnel vision that you need to play a game like this.” Rico Brown (82) leads the Sugar Skulls with 14 touchdown receptions.

TUCSON, ARIZONA – The Tucson Sugar Skulls’ season has come down to one game for everything the franchise set it sights on last summer.
