This strange and unique season had seen reigning Division III champion Trinity punching above its weight so far when it came to facing higher division schools, but that streak didn’t continue on Friday.
Another intra-city contest in a year that has seen more intra-city contests than most, and the two schools participating in this contest were both literally and figuratively miles apart.
Just because a scoreboard says that one team has won and another team last lost doesn’t necessarily mean that both teams didn’t leave with another type of victory.
One team is in Division III and one team is in Division II, but casual observers of Trinity and Manchester West on Saturday could be forgiven if they couldn’t tell each team’s division by what they saw on the field.
With a consistent rushing attack on one side and an inconsistent one on the other, Bedford’s victory over Manchester Central on Friday night seemed inevitable at times, even if the scoreboard didn’t make that immediately apparent.

Larissa will find another job. She’s insightful and gifted and attractive, and that’s what her references will say. They won’t say she’s a drunk.
