Big plays thwart Mantecas upset bid
Placeholder Image
SACRAMENTO — It wasn’t 40 days or 40 nights, it was just 40 long seconds. In those final 40 ticks of the first half, Manteca turned the ball over on downs near the red zone, and a 62-yard worst-case-scenario bomb Inderkum helped put the Tigers up for good in their 30-21 Sac-Joaquin Section Division III first-round win Friday. Manteca (6-5), the 11th seed, was in the middle of a 12-play drive and looking to go up by two scores, when a fourth-and-six attempt after two incompletions came up short at the Inderkum 23-yard line.
