The Manor Mustangs''s recent rough patch got a bit rougher on Friday after their fourth straight loss. They ended up on the wrong side of a tough 30-8 walloping at the hands of Granby. While losing is never fun, Manor can't take it too hard given the team's big disadvantage in MaxPreps' Virginia football rankings (they are ranked 237th, while Granby is ranked 86th).
Even if they lost, Manor's defense sure didn't make it easy: Granby's QB was sacked six times before it was all said and done. Granby's QB won't forget Carlito Brown anytime soon given Brown sacked him six times.
Granby's win was a true team effort, with many players turning in solid performances. Perhaps the best among them was Drevyon Tharrington, who rushed for 72 yards and two touchdowns. Shaineek Wright was another key contributor, gaining 90 total yards and a touchdown.
