SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO – South San Francisco’s recent past seemed difficult to fathom as Marcus Mercurio bucked through and around Leigh defenders before twisting into the end zone to score the clincher Friday night in a 25-20 Warriors’ victory.
Three years ago, South San Francisco had no varsity football while mired in a winless stretch that lasted nearly five years.
The Warriors are winning now, and their 2023 Central Coast Section Division V title is evidence. Their transformation, however, is far from over.
