Manchester beats rival Clinton in double-overtime thriller
A Manchester blitz collapsed Clinton's offensive line and the defense sandwiched quarterback Hayden Craig as he attempted to answer Manchester's earlier score. Craig fumbled and the swarm of Manchester players dog-piled on the ball to end the game at 20-14.
The Manchester sidelines quickly emptied in celebration of the victory over their longtime rivals. (Story, Photo & Video | Boxscore)

Dexter quarterback Alex McMurray scrambled 10 yards up the field before pitching to Sequoyah Burke-Combs, who galloped in a 20-yard touchdown for a 29-0 lead as time expired in the half. It seems that even busted plays worked out just perfectly for the Dreadnaughts in a 43-0 win over visiting Garden City Friday night. (Story | Boxscore)
