Hazen finished second in the Seamount league with a 7-3 record.
Mount Si will need to keep an eye on senior running back James Holland, as Holland ran for 918 yards and 11 touchdowns during the regular season.
He averaged 6.9 yards per carry and 114.75 yards per game.
Look for senior linebackers Ahmad Korma and Eric Murphy to lead Mount Si’s defense in stopping Holland, as Korma and Murphy lead the team with 27.5 tackles each.
On the other side of the ball, look for senior Mount Si quarterback Chris Clark, junior running back Matthew Bankston and senior wide receiver Rossco Castagno to lead the team.
Clark threw for 1,176 yards during the regular season, Bankston ran for 649 yards and Castagno racked up 658 receiving yards.
However, Mt Si’s offense will need to look out for junior Hazen linebacker Jordan Bumgarner and junior defensive linemen Jordan Hjelmaa, who lead the team with 28 and 24.5 tackles respectively.
