This game features the DuPont Manual Crimsons (4-0) entering the game with five consecutive victories over the (3-1) Ballard Bruins who have rapidly adjusted to their new coach and his West Coast offense. Manual continued their streak over the Bruins with a 13-0 shut out victory tonight led by their staunch defensive effort which limited Ballard to a negative 36 yards on the ground and the huge offensive line that averages close to 300 pounds per man. Ballard did have their opportunity driving inside the Manual 10 yard line but were turned away empty handed both times. Manual recorded 15 first downs and 218 yards of total offense. The Crimsons were penalized nine times for 97 yards. Ballard recorded 10 first times and 137 yards of total offense. The Bruins were penalized 11 times for 90 yards and lost a fumble.
John Riley led Manual’s ground game with 67 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Andre Teague carried the ball 14 times for 55 yards. Marcis Floyd added 36 yards on 17 carries. William Britt completed three of eight passes for 26 yards. Jalen Carter caught four passes for 35 yards.
