Manzanola had to kick off their season on the road on Friday, but they showed no ill effects. They simply couldn't be stopped as they easily beat the Antonito Trojans 61-19 on the road. The score at the end of the third wound up being the final score as the Bobcats just coasted through the last quarter.
Manzanola wouldn't let Antonito keep a hold of the ball as they managed to force two fumbles. Jesse James was the leader in that area as all came courtesy of his dominant performance. He also put in work on the defensive side of the ball, forcing two fumbles and making two total tackles which he returned for a touchdown.
