Nuevo Wins Super Bowl XII 27-6 

Super Bowl XII featured a rematch of the last two Super Bowl with the High Sierra Gold (formally Tennessee Venom) looking for revenge against the Nuevo Nighthawks. 

High Sierra wins the toss and defers so Nuevo gets the ball first. After a 35 yard David Reed return sets up Nuevo at it s own 40, Tom Brady completes 3 passes and Fred Jackson adds 10 yards on two runs to lead a 9 play 37 yard run and Connor Barth boots a 41 yard field goal for a 3-0 Nuevo lead with 11:46 left in the first. High Sierra goes 3 and out and Brady again marches Nuevo down the field but after a 3rd down conversation to the 30 Reggie Wayne fumbles and High Sierra holds. After three punts Nuevo starts at its own 44 yard line and drives 43 yards to set up a 31 yard Connor Barth field goal and make it 6-0 with 7:30 left in the first half. Philip Rivers then throws a costly interception on 3rd and 13 and Corey Webster sets Nuevo up at the Gold 30 yard line. Nuevo cashes in going 30 yards in 4 plays with Mike Williams catching an 11 yard slant from Brady with 4:28 left in the half and Nuevo takes the 13-0 lead into the locker room. 

High Sierra starts the second half going three and out and Nuevo goes 68 yards in 9 plays with Derrick ward scoring on a 10 yard trap run to make it 20-0 with 10:41 left in the third. After the teams exchanged punts, Nuevo held and a 66 yard Julian Edelman punt return made it 27-0 with 5:28 left in the 3rd quarter. Nuevo would force a three and out and drive to the High Sierra 19 yard line but Mewelde Moore fumbles and Donte Whitner scooped it up and raced 88 yards for a touchdown. The two point conversation failed and Nuevo led 27-6 with 13:16 left in the game. The defenses held the rest of the way and the game ended 27-6. 

Game MVP went to Tom Brady who was 21 of 31 for 221 yards and a TD. Derrick Ward added 69 yards rushing while Fred Jackson added 66. Reggie Wayne caught 8 balls for 73 yards in the win. Philip Rivers was held to 13 of 36 for 149 yards for High Sierra. Nuevo had a 342-186 yard and 20-11 first down edge.
