Led by Jensen Frieden's 245 yards rushing and two touchdowns, the Northfield Norse held off a stubborn Manchester team in a 27-7 conference win over the Squires. 

 

In a close first half, the Norse got on the board on their opening drive, controlling the ball for half of the quarter on an 11-play drive that resulted in a two-yard touchdown plunge from Frieden with 6:00 left in the first quarter. 

 

Northfield made it 13-0 midway through the second quarter when quarterback Lane Evans found Ryan Driscoll for a 35-yard touchdown with 5:41 left in the half.
