Two little mistakes may have cost the Madera South Stallions one of the top two seeds in the Central Section playoffs and a County/Metro Athletic Conference title.

The Stallions scored a goal in the first half of the first half. However, two mistakes on defense allowed two Sanger goals Wednesday in a 2-1 loss in Stallion Stadium. 

The Stallions went into the game with a loss to Sanger while the Apaches were undefeated. Now, the Stallions need some help with a week to play for a chance at the CMAC title.
