Marist Rolls past Presbyterian 42-7 Behind Mannino's Four Touchdowns
Sonny Mannino scored four touchdowns, two running and two passing, and Marist beat Presbyterian 42-7. If you play fantasy, that is the headline. If you want to know whether it was ever close, it was not.
Marist scored first on a 7-yard run by Mannino with 10:56 left in the first quarter, and added a second touchdown before the quarter was out when Jayden Taylor returned a punt 24 yards for a score. It was 14-0 after one and 21-0 when Mannino ran in from a yard out with 10:46 left in the second quarter. Presbyterian finally answered when Landon Sharpe ran 16 yards to make it 21-7, and that was all it got.
Mannino then threw a 1-yard touchdown to Isaiah Simmons with 3:49 left in the half, and a 5-yard one to Simmons early in the second half. Kaden Beard capped it with a 5-yard run with 1:55 left. Marist ran the ball 46 times for 238 yards and finished with 444 total yards to Presbyterian's 232, and neither team turned the ball over. Nobody had to rescue anything: Marist led from the first score to the last.
Marist moves to 1-2. Presbyterian drops to 0-3 and has now lost its first three. Its offense threw for 142 yards on 30 attempts by Sharpe (14 completions) and found the end zone once, on the ground.
Fantasy points from the game went mostly to Marist. Mannino's 38.2 was the top score by 14.7 points over Simmons, and Sharpe's 13.8 was the best any Presbyterian player managed.
