In Victor Galli’s final home game as coach, Pittsburg beats Manteca to win NorCal Division I-A championship.
PITTSBURG — The script is almost too good to be true, a fantasy that only happens on movie screens. But there Pittsburg coach Victor Galli was Saturday night, rising toward the sky while on the shoulders of his players as rain fell and the scoreboard glowed in the background.
On a cold and wet night, the Pirates grabbed the lead with a lightning-quick series late in the first half, widened the advantage to 20 points in the third quarter and added an exclamation in the final period with a 12-yard touchdown run by Florida-bound quarterback Jaden Rashada and the fourth fourth-down stop by the defense.“I am so proud of these guys,” said Galli, the program’s coach for the past 21 years. “I thought we played our best game tonight. It’s a dream come true.
Manteca, a running team that features Florida State commit Blake Nichelson and junior Bryson Davis, answered with a 16-play drive. Nichelson scored the touchdown on a short run and then ran in a two-point conversion to put the visitors in front 8-7.Pittsburg made the first of its fourth-down stops with 38 seconds on the clock.
“The offense was like, ‘We’ve got to score,'” Rashada said. “I think that’s why we had two big plays right there and that was great momentum going into halftime.”
