The Wolves home win, in front of 5,174 enthusiastic fans, was their six straight which is a new franchise record.

The Schutt Offensive Player of the Game went to the veteran wide receiver Jarrail Jackson who hauled in ten catches for 87 yards and four touchdowns while also adding another score via 1-yard run.

The Cutters Catch of the Game went to Antwun Williams who made an amazing touchdown grab in the third quarter, he finished with nine catches for 90 yards and two touchdowns.
The stops for Manchester 's defense included a turnover on downs in the first quarter, a big goal line stance on their own 1-yard line in the third quarter, but none proved to be more vital then their last which resulted in a safety by the aggressive Fountain with 8.9 seconds left to clinch the win.
