Published: October 27, 2007

THE DIFFERENCE: Running back Joseph Evans' pass to a wide open Andre Simpson with 19 seconds left in the game stunned a homecoming crowd that watched Newsome score 16 unanswered points in the second half.

GAME NOTES: Indians running back Chaz Burrows scored three touchdowns, including two within three-and-a-half minutes, to seemingly put the game out of reach in the second quarter. … After the homecoming halftime ceremony, in which many Newsome players participated, the team came out and held East Bay to a minus-1 yard of total offense in the third quarter while scoring 10 points.

STAT OF THE GAME: Burrows ran for 101 first half yards (126 overall) and Newsome's Connor Powers ran for 90 yards (98 overall) in the second half.

QUOTE OF THE GAME: "We didn't put the nails in the coffin in the first half, and in the second half they made some defensive adjustments while we began struggling on offense. It would have been real easy to lose composure in that game." - East Bay coach Brian Thornton
