Stamford Bulldogs (15-0) vs. Ganado Indians (14-1), 11 a.m., Thursday 

Stamford, a program that dates back to 1913, will be playing in its eighth state title in school history on Thursday morning in the Class 2A Division I finals.  

The Bulldogs won titles in 1955, 1956, 1958, 2004, 2012, 2013 and was a runner-up in 2011. They also won the 1959 4A title but later forfeited it.

Stamford punched the ticket to state with a 28-13 win over Hamilton — a win that was not locked up until late in the game. RB Christain Duran scored with 1:32 left to ice the victory.
