Big Game from Lunn As Manchester Township Won 42-12
Manchester Township found a leader in Aidan Lunn as the squad took down Lakewood on Saturday. Lunn turned in nothing short of a gem, throwing for 128 yards and two touchdowns while completing 80% of his passes, and also punching in a touchdown on the ground.
Manchester Township is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five contests, which provided a nice bump to their 5-2 record this season. Lunn's next game is against Point Pleasant Beach on Friday, where he'll look to repeat that solid effort.
