The Manchester Youth Football League wrapped their regular season schedule on Saturday hosting Marshall County on Homecoming. All 3 Red Raider teams were in action as each team selected a player and a cheerleader for their King and Queen respectively. The day also served as Breast Cancer Awareness day as each team wore pink socks and the cheerleaders wore pink shirts and used pink pom-poms. Thunder Radio was on hand to record each of the contests.
In the Division 1 game, the Red Raiders got 4 touchdowns from Lane Sheppard as they blanked Marshall County 42 to 0. Sheppard scored on TD runs of 38, 60, 13 and 4 yards for Manchester. Hayes Shemwell and Kaleb Morris also had touchdowns. Shappard finished the game with 148 yards rushing on 13 carries. The win improves Manchester to 5 and 2 record entering the playoffs.
