Winning is always nice, but doing so behind a season-high score is even better (just ask Manchester). They were the clear victors by a 34-14 margin over the Conard Red Wolves on Thursday. The Red Hawks have beaten the Red Wolves the last three times they've met, but they better watch out: this was the closest the Red Wolves has come to flipping the script.
Multiple players turned in solid performances to lead Manchester to victory, but perhaps none more so than Jeremiah Pinckney, who rushed for 141 yards and one score on only 12 carries. Ayden Rodriguez was another key rusher, rushing for 102 yards and a pair of TDs.
They were just one part of a punishing run game: Manchester was unstoppable on the ground and finished the game with 291 rushing yards. That's the most rushing yards they've posted since the start of last season.
Another reason for the win was Manchester's imposing defense, which managed to get into the backfield for three sacks. The team can thank three different players for their defensive prowess: D'Andre Thames, Dallas Davis, and Korii Johnson, who each picked up one sack apiece.
Manchester's record now sits at 2-5. As for Conard, they are on a three-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 2-5.
Looking ahead, Manchester will head out to square off against Hall at 6:30 p.m. on the 7th. As for Conard, they will host Simsbury at 6:30 p.m. on the 7th. The Red Wolves will be up against the Trojans' rather soft defense (which has allowed 38.5 points per contest), so fans could be in store for a big offensive performance.
