San Manuel moved to 2-0 on the year for the first time since 2012 and only the third time since 1995. The 42-12 victory over Ft. Thomas at home Friday night also moved the Miners up in the 1A South Region standings along with St. David with the Tigers moving to 3-0 after beating Duncan 59-12 at home.
Ft. Thomas fell to 0-3 on the year for only the second time in modern history. The Apaches were hampered by six turnovers in the game with three interceptions and three fumbles. The Miners also had difficulty with four turnovers but the team was able to cash in thanks to some big plays on offense….
