Manchester Academy built an early lead and never looked back in a 54-0 win at Kemper Friday.
Mavericks quarterback Jon Riley Poe completed 1-of-2 passes with Dylan Dendy catching a 44-yard touchdown pass.
Mills Paul also threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Rashaad Bass. Bass also scored a defensive touchdown after grabbing an interception.
Parks Poe led the ground attack with one carry for 65 yards and a touchdown. He also scored two defensive touchdowns after grabbing interceptions.
Michael Williams had one carry for 49 yards and a touchdown.
Connor Stevens had four carries for 44 yards. Stevens also helped lead the defense with four tackles and an interception.
Ty Love had two interceptions and a pair of tackles.
Tyler Bardwell and Kemp Black each had three tackles.
Dylan Dendy had two tackles and a fumble recovery. Michael Williams, Ty Walton and Will Keaton Ketchum each had two tackles, and Tres Paul had one.
Mavericks head coach Bryan Dendy said he was pleased with the victory, but he's already focused on this week's contest at Tallulah. Tallulah was the last team to beat Manchester, and that was in the 2018 state title game.
"We have a tough game this week against Tallulah," Dendy said. "They are big, strong, fast and physical. They have a very talented team. It will be a tough task on the road against the No. 3-ranked team."
