MANSFIELD -- Mansfield Senior's first win of the season arrived on Friday night in dominating fashion. The Tygers muzzled Lexington 42-6 for a convincing Ohio Cardinal Conference victory at Arlin Field.

Neither team scored in the first period, but Senior High (1-2 overall, 1-1 in the OCC) erupted in the second quarter to take control of the game.

​

​

Mansfield Senior's defense then took center stage, specifically, Amajeon Robertson. The junior standout picked off a pass at the Lexington 7 and bulled in for a score at the 2:45 mark of the second period. It was the first of two interceptions he had in the game.

​

Moments later, Hill and Grose hooked up on a 16-yard touchdown pass to make it 21-0 at the half.

Hill opened the third period with a 17-yard TD run to stretch the margin to 28-0.

​

But Senior High responded when Dakarion Mitchell rolled 18 yards for a TD on his only carry of the game to make it 35-6. Hill finished it with a 15-yard scoring stroke to Tyshaundre Hall with 9:35 remaining in the game.
