The Knights opened a 14-0 first-quarter lead, moved on top 31-0 at halftime, and took a 38-0 gap into the fourth quarter.
Mansfield Senior avoided the shutout when D.J. Corbin caught an 18-yard TD pass from Sean Tanner.
Tanner hit on 15-of-26 passes for 156 yards. Plessie Wentworth caught 7 passes for 77 yards. But the Tygers simply couldn’t run the ball, losing 8 yards on 12 rushing attempts in the game.
West Holmes improved to 3-1, 1-0, and will be at Madison next week.
