The Tijuana Luchadores were in playoff contention all the way to the final week of the season. While they were not in control of their destiny at that point, the right series of events would have gotten them in. The future looks bright for the Luchadores however, as they had one of the highest scoring offenses in the league, while being made almost entirely of rookies. The only exception on offense being NOLA send down Ed Barker. That shows a lot of promise to the Luchadores offense next season as most, if not all, of these players will be returning for a second season in the DSFL. To really get over the hump though, the team needs to take a focused look at defense in the upcoming draft, as the defense gave up the third most points in the league, behind only the two expansion teams. While there are a couple active cornerstone pieces on the defense and some latecomers that should be much improved in the next season. The captain and top defender Ugarth the Dissector may find himself elevated into the NSFL in the coming season. If the powerhouse offense stays together next season, and the team is able to hit on some extra defenders in the draft, Tijuana should be considered as one of the top contenders for the Ultimini in Season 22.
