For the first time in five years, San Mateo has won the Little Big Game and the Paw. It was a back-and-forth classic as penalties played a major role in the outcome. A 40-yard San Mateo touchdown run was called back on a holding call that you can see in the lower left of this photo.
A Burlingame sack, fumble recovery and one-play touchdown caused the momentum to swing and Burlingame eventually took a one-point lead (after missing a fake PAT). In the final minute, a 40 yard San Mateo pass that wobbled the whole way into the end zone was the winning play. The San Mateo crowd went crazy as it took possession of the Paw, snatching it out of the Burlingame trainer's hands without any of the usual pomp and circumstance. Here it is being raised in victory--a hard fought win for San Mateo. See you next year.
