Emanuel Sampel Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Manchester was led to victory by Emanuel Sampel, who turned in his biggest game of the season on Thursday. Sampel threw for 278 yards and seven touchdowns while completing 73.9% of his passes. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 3.6 passing touchdowns per game.
Sampel and Manchester are on the road again on Friday to play Berlin at 6:30 p.m. The Red Hawks got just the result they wanted when they last faced the Redcoats, probably because Sampel had a solid game then too: he threw for 256 yards and two touchdowns, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Can he match (or beat) that performance?
