STOCKTON — Play until the last whistle. That is what the Delta College football team did Saturday.
Although the Mustangs lost to Northern California top-ranked San Mateo 31-12 at De Ricco Field, it was Delta tenacity’s that led to a 34-yard touchdown pass from Nordahl Shad to De’von King on the game’s last play.
Mustangs tenacity and lack of discipline by the Bulldogs, that is.
On the play prior to King’s circus catch as time expired, San Mateo (2-0) incurred its 21st penalty, an unsportsmanlike conduct call to put the ball into scoring position. Shad made the Bulldogs pay.
