Newman's torrid offensive start continued Friday night as freshman Arch Manning threw five touchdowns in less than three quarters to lead the Greenies to a 38-14 homecoming victory over East Jefferson at Lupin Field.

We wanted to show teams that if you focus on the pass that we have other players who can bring the pain, said Newman running back Joseph Pleasant, who finished with 144 yards rushing on 17 carries. Our line has been working on getting better, and tonight we showed that we're a threat on all sides of the offense. Teams have to look out for us. When we're balanced, we're hard to beat. This is a big win that shows that we've gotten better.

Manning finished 18-of-26 passing for 230 yards and threw touchdowns to four different receivers. Homecoming king and senior wide receiver Jarmone Sutherland hauled in two touchdowns including a 44-yard strike while Beau Adams, Pike Philibert and John Charbonnet each caught one.

We wanted to run the football, and that opened up a lot of things for us, Newman coach Nelson Stewart said. Joseph Pleasant was great running the ball, and our defense was great. We got a good lead, and it gave us a chance to get our young guys out there. But the way we started running the football was huge because we were able to control the line of scrimmage.

Leading 24-0 at halftime, the Greenies (3-0) put the game away on the opening drive of the second half. Newman marched 60 yards in eight plays capped by a 5-yard touchdown pass to Adams. On the ensuing drive, Manning rolled out to find Philibert for a 2-yard touchdown. The 38-0 advantage ended the night for Newman's starters with two minutes left in the third quarter.

We approached this season with the attitude of playing fast and physical on defense, Newman defensive lineman Brandon Williams said. Tonight, we showed that. This game meant a lot to us. We wanted to stop them on every possession. We really wanted the goose egg, and our first team defense did that.

East Jefferson (0-3) avoided the shutout as Jermaine Guillard hauled in a 12-yard touchdown from Arthur Oliver with five minutes left in the game. The Warriors added another score at the buzzer as Isaiah Lee caught a 39-yard touchdown. Oliver finished 10-of-28 passing for 149 yards with an interception and a touchdown.

East Jefferson coach Frank Allelo said the Warriors, who were penalized 14 times for 108 yards, simply need to play smarter.

We tend to play pretty good for 24 minutes and not a full 48 minutes, Allelo said. We need to fix that. We have to limit our mistakes. Our mistakes are just complete mental breakdowns, and when it happens, it is usually followed by four other things. We need to learn how to regroup and overcome our own adversity. We've got some really talented kids. We just have to believe in ourselves.

The Greenies outgained East Jefferson 236 to 77 yards in the first half en route to a big halftime lead. After a 22-yard Will Hardie field goal for the games first points, it was an onsides kick that ignited the Newman offense.

After the recovery, Sutherland hauled in a 6-yard touchdown catch with less than two minutes left in the first quarter.

The offense continued as Manning threw touchdown passes of 44 yards to Sutherland and 11 yards to John Chabonnet to give the Greenies a commanding lead.

While Newman's offense rolled, the Warriors were haunted by mistakes and penalties (73 yards in the first half) that killed any momentum.
