Manchester is coming home in high spirits after they had to open their season on the road against Coventry. Manchester really took it to Coventry for the full four quarters, racking up a 41-0 win on the road. The victory was some much needed relief for the Panthers as it spelled an end to their three-game losing streak dating back to last season.
Meanwhile, Sandy Valley couldn't capitalize on their home-field advantage in their season opener. They fell 21-14 to Fairless on Thursday.
Lukas Gilland put forth a good effort for the losing side as he picked up 82 receiving yards and a touchdown.
Manchester took a serious blow against Sandy Valley in their previous matchup back in August of 2023, falling 48-13.
