Fifty years ago, on October 5, 1967, moving from a second quarter 7-7 tie, Manteca High went on to down East Union High 34-7 in the first-ever varsity football game between the two schools. Buffalo Steve Mendosa ran over, through and around the Lancers on the first play of the game for a 59-yard scoring romp. Mendosa went on to score again for the Buffs and Andy Munoz scored twice for Manteca.
