After two decades of football at Santa Monica College, the Corsair football team won the 2011 Pacific Conference Championship by beating their rival, West Los Angeles.
The conference win brought a lot of emotions on the field for both freshman and returning players. The last time the SMC football team had won a conference was in 1991.
“It’s been more than just wins. Coach Gifford changed the culture and environment of football at SMC, and has put the students first,” said Athletics Director Joe Cascio.
