STOCKTON — Back-to-back fourth-quarter touchdowns on consecutive touches by Darien East brought Manteca close but not close enough in the Super Bowl loss at Bear Creek High’s Podesto Field.
The Chargers buried themselves in a hole with three lost fumbles, but East’s fourth-period resurgence made things interesting. With Manteca trailing 26-6 after three quarters and East (eight carries, 191 yards) having zero yards on his last five five carries he bolted 54 yards on the first play of the final period to make the score 26-12. Less than three minutes later East scampered 65 yards for the final score of the game.
East gave Manteca a 6-0 lead midway through the first quarter on a 72-yard run.
Nicolas Holt led the Chargers with 12 tackles. Dominic Roa added nine stops, East and Isaiah Herrera six apiece, Pedro Vejar five and three each for Michael Torio and Robbie McDonald.
