MANCHESTER — Despite dressing only 26 players, the Trinity football team showed its strength as a Division II title contender Friday, scoring touchdowns on six of seven first-half drives to secure a 50-15 win over Kennett High. The Eagles, now 2-6, are officially eliminated from playoff contention.
The top eight teams make the playoffs. Kennett currently sits sixth in the East.
