Manchester Regional ran circles around Elmwood Park on Saturday, and the extra yardage (267.30 yards vs. 58 yards) paid off.

Manchester Regional's offense came in ready to rumble, picking up 34 points in the first half. Meanwhile, Elmwood Park couldn't get anything going offensively, leaving the score at 34 to nothing heading into the break. Manchester Regional was outscored in the second half, but Elmwood Park's efforts were ultimately no more than a drop in the ocean.
