Guam - In IFL Football, shout out to the GW Geckos for winning this year's high school football title with an undefeated season. The Geckos beat the Guam High Panthers 14-0 on their home field to keep the trophy on the Mangilao campus. G.W running back Keanu Lujan broke the 100-yard rushing mark leading the way on the ground for G-Dub.

The Geckos got on board off a Valiant Borja TD grab and a score from quarterback Derek Santos to seal the deal.

Santos told KUAM Sports, "I'm a two-time champion, we came into this game focused and we worked hard and played hard. The Panthers came in here and played hard as well but we wanted it more and were champions baby. 2011 champions!"

GW coach Ryan Rios added, "We told them we are going to work for everything we are going to get. Everything that they put on since day one and everything they are going to put in the system you are going to get something good in the end. I'm proud that I make better football players and I make respectful people, that's what I'm really proud about. That's what the program is about.

"And tonight I think we accomplished what we wanted and that was win a championship."
