HB 50, West 20

MANCHESTER – Hollis Brookline QB Joey Delaney was a busy man Oct. 14. Then again, his teammates didn’t get much rest either in a 50-20 win over Manchester West that saw every available Cavalier take the field.

Finding their way into the end zone for HB were Derek Davidson (two touchdowns), Matt Simco (two TDs), Brian Delaney, Jason Mansinon and Jack Byrne.

Four of those seven scores came through the air courtesy of Joey Delaney, as the Cavaliers improved to 5-2 heading into next week’s game against Pelham (2-4) in Hollis. West is now 0-7 and will visit Windham (6-0) on Oct. 22.
