TAMPA - Quarterback Aaron Mills scored on a sneak from the 1 yard-line with 11 seconds left in the game to complete East Bay's comeback victory against King.

The Indians had cut the Lions lead to 41-36 on a 4-yard run by Deandre Reddick in the third quarter, but were unable to sustain a drive to take the lead until late in the game. Through strong runs by Edgar Latortue and D.J. Richmond, the Indians reached first-and-goal with less than two minutes to play.

King managed to stop Richmond twice and Mills once to force fourth-and-goal on the 1. East Bay let the clock run to the 11-second mark when Mills ran a successful sneak putting the Indians up 42-41. Mills then found Reddick for a 2-point conversion to make the lead three.

King had scored on four successive possessions to overcome an early 22-7 deficit as Reese Sturgis scored on a 20-yard touchdown run and threw a pair of touchdown passes to Derrick Bass for 20 yards and Reggie Butler for 12 yards. A 1-yard touchdown run by Shawn Hibbert gave the Lions a 35-22 lead in the third quarter.
