East Triumphs in Homecoming Victory Behind Vergith’s 290 Yards
Lincoln East senior quarterback Tom Vergith passed for 290 yards on 15 of 24 with three touchdowns in a 34-13 homecoming rout of Lincoln High. The win boosted East’s hopes for a Class A playoff wild card and a share of the city championship, though postseason chances ended with other results. Vergith’s 6-3 tight end Dana Childs and speedster Scott Schoettger contributed key TDs as East overcame Lincoln High’s early defense and miscues. East finished 6-3 overall and 3-3 in the Trans-Nebraska Conference, while Lincoln High went 5-4 and 2-4.
